Chapter 39: Wishes
I have always believed that rain is a very spiritual existence, and many times I can feel that it can subtly sense people's moods, or I have the illusion that people's moods are following its footsteps.
A section of Highway XX.
When I got out of the car, the rain had stopped, and before I could look at the people standing in front of me, a figure rushed into my arms desperately.
Warm arms wrapped around me, and said aggrievedly: "Young master! ”
In this world, if someone can be so intimate, but it is not a relationship between men and women, the only one is Su Ling, she seems to have continued for thousands of years, my young brothers and sisters have feelings for me, whether it is care or care, it is very natural.
There was a feeling of emotion in my heart, and I wanted to hug Su Ling hard, but I had no choice but to move my body, but in exchange for a pain, I gasped.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Su Ling screamed worriedly, and there were still tears on his face that had flowed out of excitement before.
I waved my hand at Su Ling, but Tina, who was over there, came over and held me up.
She is always so decent, even if she is excited, she can suppress her feelings, stand aside, and do what she should do, but I am injured or something, it will always be her weakness, and she can't control herself to be calm at this time, so she glared at Su Ling fiercely and scolded her for being abrupt.
"It's impossible not to get hurt, don't blame Su Ling." I endured the pain and said a word to Tina.
But Tina said, "Then the head of the house, we have to stay here for a while, please don't be reckless." As she spoke, she shouted to a few people over there, "Can you come over and help him?" ”
As I spoke, an old man who looked reliable walked up to me, and without asking my opinion, he lifted my shirt, groped between my ribs, and then looked up and said to me with a wry smile: "This rib is cracked, and this one is a slight fracture, fortunately it is not serious, if the internal organs are inserted, it is dangerous for you to run all the way like this." However, I admire you very much, the pain of breaking the muscles and bones is not something that ordinary people can bear, and you can still drive to this place in a sitting. ”
"I don't have a lot of time to deal with it." I'm telling the truth to this old man, because I can't forget what Hu Yanli said about the pursuers, and I don't have to worry about these pursuers losing me, because the mark on my body is the best guide, although it is not possible to locate my position immediately, but it is always possible to guide me in a general direction. In short, in the vast sea of people, I can't hide unless there is a way to restrain this seal.
On the other hand, I am very grateful to Dr. Qin for thinking so thoroughly, I only mentioned slightly on the phone that Lao Zhou was injured, and among the people he sent to pick up Lao Zhou, there was also a doctor.
"Then I'll deal with it for you briefly, reset you, and fix it a little bit. Then use some potions to relieve your pain and break your muscles and bones for a hundred days, and I hope you will have to wait until you have enough rest. If you can't, try not to move the injury again. The old man commanded softly.
And at this time, Qin Hainian had already pushed Lao Zhou in front of me, Qin Hainian began to ask questions as always, her concern for me was not fake, after all, after so many years of friends, it was just that the reflex arc was amazing, and it wasn't until the doctor did it that she knew that I was injured.
Lao Zhou watched the old man handle everything for me without saying a word, until I endured the pain of reset, and after the bandaging was completed, and the old man injected the painkiller injection into my body, Lao Zhou looked at me, and he wanted to stand up!
I walked over, hugged him fiercely, and slapped him lightly on the shoulder: "I originally wanted to go directly to the meeting point with the Huo Nie family, but I think that if I don't come here to say goodbye to you, you will definitely feel uncomfortable, which is secondary!" The point is, the contact is not so convenient, and you will miss it very much. So, I'm here first, just to say goodbye to you. ”
Lao Zhou looked at me, there was a trace of indescribable sadness in his eyes, and he just said to me: "Is there any smoke?" ”
"It's all wet." I smiled helplessly.
At this time, a voice abruptly interjected into us: "Ye, the smell of blood on your body is very strong, and it is also full of the breath of evil things. I think you've had an amazing fight, and if you don't mind, I've got smoke here. ”
It's Darren, the man who has always been as passionate as fire.
I smiled and accepted his kindness, and took out two cigarettes from the cigarette case he handed over, but I was not in a hurry to light the fire, but said to him: "Well, four very difficult guys, a big bear, a mutated weasel, good at mental attacks. In addition, there is a bat that is always hiding and ready to 'bite' people hard, and finally a pangolin hiding in the ground. I beat them up and killed them, and I couldn't have faced these four big guys unscathed. ”
I said lightly, Su Ling and Tina's faces turned white several times, and Qin Hainian suddenly became nervous, twisting his hands and looking at me in disbelief: "You are fighting these strange things? ”
And Lao Zhou just looked at me deeply, worried, and more sad, because these things in Qin Hainian's mouth didn't include Chen Chong?
"Oh, I can't believe what you're saying. It seems to let me see the legendary Dark Age, orcs, all kinds of devils don't tell me, such an era will cover the whole earth! I don't have my grandfather's skills, you know? My grandfather is a very powerful witcher, I know your identity, from Dr. Qin, I want to tell you that my grandfather and your master are very good friends. "I have to say that Darren's mind is too jumpy, one moment he is still marveling at my fight, and the next moment he is talking about his relationship with me.
In fact, I am very interested in his topic, and I believe very much, when I was a child, I saw Master smoking pipes, which was his cherished thing, but obviously smoking pipes is not a habit of Chinese people, and he also vaguely said that it was something left to him by his friends.
Including a Western-style zippo lighter, and it's because of this that I have a hobby of collecting lighters.
Thinking of this, I walked over, hugged Darren gently, and said to him seriously: "I am very interested in your topic, but I have a chaser on me, which is destined for me not to stay in one place for too long, which will bring disaster to the people I value." Believe me, we will meet again, and tell me the story of my master and your grandfather when the time comes. ”
"Good!" Although Darren is enthusiastic, he is not a person who does not know the importance of it, and after promising me, he stepped aside, and after I said goodbye to Lao Zhou, he would leave here.
"Let's go over there." Lao Zhou pointed to a relatively remote place and said to me.
I wordlessly pushed the wheelchair to the place Lao Zhou pointed out, then took out a lighter, helped him light a cigarette, and lit it myself.
By this time, the analgesics that the doctor gave me had already begun to work, so my pain was also relieved a lot, and I squatted next to Lao Zhou.
Cigarette butts flickered in the dark, the rain had stopped, and where we were, the trees had a peculiar smell of after-rain, and there was some mud under our feet, but it was covered by fallen leaves, not too bad.
Neither of us spoke, just smoked quietly, and all the things that had to be said, in his cabin, in the car, had already been said.
At this time, two people quietly accompany each other, smoke a cigarette, and then say goodbye, which is a kind of man's feelings, and a tacit understanding that can only be experienced when friendship is intimate.
A cigarette lasted only five minutes, Lao Zhou first snuffed out the cigarette butt, I stood up, also extinguished the cigarette butt on the ground, pushed his wheelchair and said, "Let's go." ”
"Third, I used to, no, just half a year ago I had a lot of wishes. For example, getting rich, a beautiful woman falling in love with me, etc., no matter how bad it is, it is a vulgar wish to have a smooth ride in the hospital. In short, none of them are about you and Chen Chong. Now, I have only one wish, and it seems very simple. There was silence for a long time before, but now on the way back, Lao Zhou suddenly spoke.
"What is it?" I looked at the road in the distance, and after a turn, I could no longer see his extension.
"Haven't I been to the factory before? Let me tell you that the small river behind the factory and mining area was once very polluted, and then because of the depression in the factory and mining area, and deliberate treatment, it became clean again. Although it is not as clean as before, I asked you and Chen Chong to go swimming there, and Xin Yi is not bad. Although the food she often prepares, what she drinks, and what she prepares for you is different from what she prepares for me and Chen Chong. Lao Zhou suddenly smiled as he spoke.
I stopped, laughed, in front of me were those past summer years, three teenagers, sitting quietly on the side of Xin Yi, and then suddenly said with a somewhat bitter expression: "After I settle everything, I will go to find Xin Yi." I need a little encouragement from you to tell me she's still alive, after all, after a few months of delay, I don't have any bottom in my heart. Don't look at me that I'm calm now. Actually, if what I found wasn't a living Xinyi, or that she had suffered some irreversible injury. You know, I'm going to have a breakdown, a crash that I can't even live on. ”
"Because of guilt, I feel that it is my fault that I have not gone to her for so long, right? And guilt doesn't break people, and as for why, if you think about it yourself, I can't understand. Lao Zhou looked up and asked me.
I nodded, he actually knew me.
"Nothing will happen, and if that happens, wouldn't my wish not be unfulfilled, and I don't want it to be unfulfilled." Lao Zhou looked into the distance and said to me as if he was really in a dream.
I didn't answer, I just pushed Lao Zhou over and handed it to Darren.
I turned to leave, but Lao Zhou shouted behind me: "Ye Zhengling, you haven't answered me yet, can my wish come true?" ”
I didn't dare to look back, let alone answer. Sometimes, people will ache and have inexplicable hope
