CHAPTER XXXIV
When I woke up, the person was lying in the hospital.
When I opened my eyes, at first I thought I was dreaming, but then I found out that it was all real, and I was about to cry. Why does the white ceiling look so beautiful? There is also the unique smell of disinfectant water in the hospital, which smells so good!
I put my head under the quilt, I never thought that the shelf bed would be so comfortable to sleep on!
I was covered in injuries and the doctor said I had three closed rib fractures, internal bleeding, a wound on my neck and gangrene, and I needed surgery. The doctor then asked me if I had been in a car accident or had been robbed, and said that if it was an accident, I had to get a police report.
Hearing this, I smiled "hehe" and couldn't say anything......
Later, I met my grandfather, who brought me a medical insurance book and some hospital supplies from home. As soon as I saw him and hugged his arm, tears began to fall. He patted me on the back and seemed to have something to say, but he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He said that when he found me in the basement of his home, he immediately called an ambulance to take me to the hospital. There was also a girl and the man who was sent with him.
I asked him if there was a young man, and he said yes, but said that the man was not hospitalized and left in a hurry.
Hearing this, I remembered the "dragon fetus" in Xiao Rong's bag, and it was estimated that that thing was very important and had to be dealt with immediately, so Xiao Rong was not allowed to stay in other places. But thinking about it again, after going through so many things, I haven't asked Xiao Rong's contact information. The matter has passed, and I don't know if there will be a chance to go out and drink together in the future.
After the surgery that afternoon, I began to have a high fever, which lasted for a day and a night, and even my brain was confused. For the first time since I was born, I realized that my physique was so poor.
In the evening the turkey came to see me with a fruit basket. As soon as he saw me, he had the same face as if he had seen a monster - his eyes widened, and he took my ears and tried to look at me. I was on fire at the time, I said, you pervert, you, I just woke up, sir, I don't want to smell your bad breath, get out of the way!
"Where have you been for so long? Was it really abducted by a cult organization and sent to Nepal to move bricks? The turkey looked surprised.
"It's not...... Hey, but it's about the same, it's a long story. I shook my head, feeling unhappy, "I'm not just going to leave for a few days, are you going to do it?" When you played a copy together, I squatted at home for half a month, and I didn't stink you so much! β
"How many days?" The turkey screamed, and even the uncle who had hernia surgery in the bed next door woke him up, "Brother, are you missing for more than four months!" β
I plucked out my ears, and my eardrums were a little painful from him, "What, how long did you just say?" β
"Four months! Four months! Missing for four months! β
As soon as I heard this, I was stunned and shouted, "This can't be! But then I realized one thingβI remember that when I was caught up in that door, it was the height of summer in July. But now that I'm back, I'm covered with a quilt in the hospital.
I was so excited and confused that I didn't notice the problem, but now that I think about it, it's really wrong.
I reached out and lifted the curtains, and it was pitch black, with nothing to see except a few dim street lamps. I asked the turkey to bring me the newspaper from the nurse's station, and he did it stupidly.
As soon as I saw it, I went crazy.
Four months......
Four months have passed in a flash!
Why is this happening? I remember only being in that door for a few days. Could it be that I have a wrong sense of the passage of time? No, you can't go wrong with the number of sunrises and sunsets. I don't understand, for a moment, all kinds of things are pouring into my mind like a spring. I thought of some "causes" and many "effects", and at this moment, I urgently needed time to clear these thoughts and think carefully about the possibilities. So I said to the turkey, "Can you go back today and come back another day?" I'm a bit of a mess right now and need to figure something out. β
"Well said." The turkey agreed, then patted me on the shoulder, took an apple from the basket and walked out. As soon as I reached the door, I heard him scream, and I looked up, and saw that when the turkey came out of the door of the ward, he almost collided with someone.
When I looked closer, I was stunned.
I seem to know this person, but I don't seem to know him...... No, no, I definitely knew him, and the reason why I felt strange was because of the clothes on him.
"Brother Yang."
I saw Xiao Rong walk into the ward and nod to me, with a faint smile as always.
He wore a smoky gray sweater with a white shirt underneath, light-colored jeans, and a black backpack in his hand. The smell of a book on his face was completely different from that of being in the door, and I almost didn't recognize it.
"You...... You're here. I said stunned. The turkey saw that I was okay, turned around and walked away.
"Brother Yang, how are you?" Xiao Rong asked.
"What about you? You're done with everything? β
"No," Xiao Rong said lightly, "It hasn't started yet." β
I don't know what he means, it's always hard for him to understand, and he doesn't like to speak clearly, often you have to use three points of understanding and seven points of guessing to understand one or two points.
I asked him to sit down in a round swivel chair next to the bed. The uncle in the next bed was going to the tuba, and I said "I'm sorry" to the uncle, and after seeing him leave, I closed the door.
I looked at Xiao Rong, was silent for a long time, and asked, "Did you always know that the time in the door and the real time pass at a different speed?" β
Xiao Rong was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "One day in the door is almost equivalent to a month in reality." β
When I heard this, I was angry and said to myself, why didn't anyone tell me! But when I think of this, I can't complain about Xiaorong, he shouldn't know that I don't know about it. It suddenly occurred to me that when Xiao Rong was in the door, he kept saying "you have to hurry" and "can't delay", which is probably what it meant.
"I'm here because I have something to give back to you." As he spoke, I saw Xiao Rong take out something from his black backpack and put it on the small square table in my hospital bed.
He wears a black leather glove on his right hand, the same one he wore when he was first seen.
"What's that?" When I picked it up, I saw that it was a folding kettle. It occurred to me all of a sudden! When I was in the ancient city of Xuanyuan, I caught two small gray fish and put them in this kettle, and later because it was not easy to carry, Xiao Rong helped me put them in his marching bag.
After a bumpy ride along the way, I didn't change the water for the fish once, so I think I must have died.
"Thank you." I silently accepted the kettle.
Xiao Rong stood up, "Then I'll go." With that, he turned and walked out the door.
I saw that he was leaving, so I hurriedly stopped him, and I said, "Wait a minute, you saved me so many times in that door, and I have to thank you." You give me your phone number, and I'll treat you to dinner when I get back. How about you eat fish? I know of a restaurant where squirrel fish is a must.
Xiao Rong looked at me, still maintaining a light smile, and said lightly after a long time, "Brother Yang, you really don't have to be polite to me." Speaking of which...... If I save you, I can be regarded as returning your favor. β
"What do you mean?" I listened to him say this suddenly, and I nervous for a moment, and it felt as if something important was about to come out.
"You really don't remember when you were a child?" Xiao Rong said.
What the? Childhood? β¦β¦ What childhood?
I was suddenly blindsided by him, I didn't know how to respond, I only felt a palpitation. I don't understand how this Turimon thing is still related to me when I was a child?
"I have to go back." Xiao Rong looked at his watch, then took out a notebook from his bag. There were a lot of things in the notebook, and he tore off one of them, wrote a string of numbers and handed it to me, "If you have something, you can call this number to find me." β
I took the note, feeling very uncomfortable in my heart, and wanted to ask him something more, but Xiao Rong couldn't help but say it and strode away. I took a deep breath and said in my heart that it didn't matter, with this call, I would have the opportunity to ask him in the future.
After taking the medicine, I leaned back on the bed and took my temperature, 37 degrees 8. I thought to myself that I was still sick, and it was better to rest early now. But when I closed my eyes, my eyelids were burning and painful, and I couldn't sleep. A lot of things are tumbling in my head. And what makes me most depressed is that the miners have been working for more than four months! The pharmacy is going to fire me now......
The next morning, after the hanging bottles, I asked the nurse about the room where the girl and the man were in the hospital, only to learn that they had been picked up the day after they were admitted to the hospital. I sighed in my heart, these people have no conscience! When I was born and died, I wanted to pee in a pot, and as soon as I came out, I turned my face and didn't recognize people, and I didn't even say hello when I left.
In the afternoon, when the fever subsided, I immediately called a taxi, cleaned up and went through the discharge procedures. The doctor did not approve of my discharge, but I said that my family was going to die of poverty, and the contractor still owed me half a year's salary, so I really had no money to be hospitalized. When the doctor heard this, he couldn't say anything more.
When I finally got home, I felt a lot of emotion when I looked at this old house. Everything I thought about in Tulimen was like a dream. If it weren't for the wounds and the remnants of my marching bag, I would have thought I had some kind of imaginary problem.
At this time, the old man was not at home, and he didn't know where he went. After a short break, I immediately began to organize the contents of my marching bag.
I pulled out the bits and pieces of equipment and put them on the table, a lot of it was already in tatters and could be thrown in the trash.
Then I saw the nails of the giant hand in the forest. These two things are precious and I carefully put them aside. Then I saw something black again, and when I took it out, I immediately remembered that it was the cloth bag that I had found in the roots of a crack in the ground when I was entangled with the great snake.
At the time, I didn't have time to look at it in detail, but now that I see this, I am immediately interested. Hurriedly opened it and found that it was a plastic bag inside. Inside the bag was a piece of white paper, spread out, and there was a map identical to the one found in the woman's waist bag.
When I saw this, I was a little disappointed, and I said that this map is of no value to me now, and it is just a piece of waste paper that I have worked so hard to bring back.
But then I realized I was wrong.
Take a closer look, on the back of this map, there are actually a few lines of blood......
