Chapter 45: The Same Sickness
Lao Jiang poker face Ah Shen and the three of them got on the train to the northeast. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info It's off-season, the time is early in the morning, and there are very few people on the train. Lao Jiang helped the poker face stuff the luggage on the luggage rack. Ah Shen stood innocently behind, lifted the box, and motioned for Lao Jiang to put his box together.
Lao Jiang glanced at him, where was he willing to take care of Ah Shen, and sat down by himself.
"Hey, you ......" Ah Shen was angry, gritted his teeth and punched and kicked Lao Jiang in his back.
Poker Face didn't react either, just sat down, closed his eyes and began to sleep.
Ah Shen sat in the back row of Lao Jiang and Poker Face, muttering in his heart. The two of them pulled themselves out of the quilt before dawn today, and they were also cheap, so they followed them in a daze. Usually at this point, I am still groggy and sleeping, but today I am completely sober and don't want to. He looked at the time, it was only six o'clock, the sun had not yet risen, there was a light mist outside the car window, it was autumn, and yesterday a reporter found him and stopped him to ask for an interview on the case of the disappearance of the archaeological team last year. This case, no matter how long it has passed, is still the focus of people's attention at any time.
Poker Face closed his eyes, he obviously felt that today's spirit was much better than before, and he woke up in the early morning and didn't feel sleepy at all. Just because it's really boring, I keep my eyes closed and pretend to be asleep.
The train started and moved forward smoothly and quickly. Lao Jiang looked out the window at the flashing scenery, the train left the train station, drove out of the city and headed for the suburban villages. Lao Jiang suddenly spoke, as if talking to himself, "Do you know, how did my father die? ”
Lao Jiang's voice was very low when he said this, and his poker face was just enough to be heard, so he sighed and responded.
Lao Jiang said to himself, as if he was talking to the poker face, and as if he just saw the early autumn wilderness and poured out some sadness. "At that time, I was still young, and my father went to sea to find a few children who went to the sea privately on the day of the forbidden sea, and he fell ill not long after he came back. And then he died......"
Poker Face didn't make a sound, at that time, he hadn't moved out of the Ninth Ring Road block, and his parents were still alive.
Lao Jiang didn't speak for a long time, "I always thought that my dad died of illness, and the doctor also said that my dad died of organ failure." Everyone accepted it, after all, at that time, no one could question the doctor's words. Lao Jiang sighed, let himself sneer, and threw a gentle smile at the attendant who was pushing the cart to sell breakfast. When the attendant pushed the car away, Lao Jiang continued, "Until you appear." Lao Jiang's voice was very low, as if he was whispering to Poker Face, and it seemed to come from Poker Face's body. Lao Jiang continued, "What I haven't told you all this time is that you have the same symptoms as him. ”
Poker's face stiffened and he couldn't move. He didn't expect that the clues about his body that he had been looking for would be on Lao Jiang's father. He suddenly opened his eyes, slowly moved his gaze, and looked at Lao Jiang in disbelief.
Lao Jiang nodded.
Lao Jiang's father, Jiang Dexin, is the second generation of the helmsman of the Fulong Gang, and since Lao Jiang's grandfather handed over the power to Jiang Dexin, he has retired to live an idle life. No one knows where he went, so far, he has only appeared at the funeral of Lao Jiang's father, and disappeared immediately after the worship. Lao Jiang took pity on him for the white-haired man and sent the black-haired man, but the old man saw that he was sad, so he never took the initiative to send someone to find him. After a long time, for Lao Jiang, no news is the best news.
Lao Jiang said, "No one doubted until you appeared." His voice trembled, trying to hide his excitement when he said it. He had endured it for too long, and since he knew the physical condition of the poker face, he sent Luo Jin to do everything possible to investigate Jiang Dexin's physical condition when his father was sick. It took Luo Jin two weeks to finally find out the news of the doctor who treated Jiang Dexin back then, but when he arrived, he learned that the doctor had died two years earlier.
When Lao Jiang passively believes that there is no one in this world who can explain the situation of his father in the last period of his life. He got a doctor's treatment diary from the doctor's daughter, which was written especially for Jiang Dexin, a thick one, which made Lao Jiang very puzzled.
At the beginning, when Lao Jiang hadn't read the diary, he thought that the doctor would only be so attentive because he helped Fulong help the boss treat the disease. And after reading a few diaries, he realized that the reason why the doctor wrote this diary was not because of the special identity of Lao Jiang's father, but because of the special case of Lao Jiang's father.
"Like you, your body is aging very quickly. No...... He ages faster than you, and it feels like he's spending his days like years, and as the day passes, he's a year old. It's just that when he went to the hospital, his hair was gray and his teeth were falling out. Lao Jiang closed his eyes slightly and shook his head, as if he wanted to break free from such a pale and regretful picture.
Poker Face was terrified to hear, he knew better than anyone that his physical condition, as Jiang Lao said, was rapidly declining. "But...... Recently, I feel that my body has improved. Poker Face said softly.
Lao Jiang had never seen such a bottomless poker face, and he couldn't bear to shake his head lightly. "My dad was like this back then, there was a time when I felt that I had endless energy. However, after this period of time, his energy seemed to be emptied, and he no longer had any energy, and he was accompanied by the hospital bed all day long. ”
Poker Face gritted his teeth and rattled, "How long did that phase last?" ”
For a long time, Lao Jiang was waiting for the opportunity to explain his condition to Poker Face, and he waited and waited, but he waited for this opportunity that was not the most opportunity. The train continued to move forward, passing through the mountainous stage, passing through the tunnels one by one, dark and day-turning, Lao Jiang heard the sound of his heart beating violently, "According to the diary of my father's attending doctor, this stage belongs to the first stage, you will have about three months to half a year, and you will be full of energy." ”
I don't know if it's because of the mask or because of my psychological condition, Poker Face's face gradually turned pale. The corners of his resolute mouth opened slightly, his gaze froze on the passing scenery outside the window, his fingers curled unnaturally, and the sensations of his body became acute: the noise of the whole carriage, the soreness of his fingers, and the gaze that Lao Jiang never looked away from him because he was worried.
Pokerface didn't react, he moved his fingers slightly, and closed his eyes again. The train enters the tunnel, bringing a brief darkness to the carriages.
Lao Jiang didn't breathe a sigh of relief, but continued, "No matter what, I have already sent Luo Jin to investigate, and I believe that there will be results soon." ”
Poker Face still didn't react. For such a long time, he calmly accepted the sudden changes in his body, calmly accepted that he lived with a human skin mask, and calmly accepted that the people around Yu Yue were not him. It's just that only he knows how much reluctance and unwillingness there is in such a calm acceptance. Now Lao Jiang told him that the end that awaited him might be an unchangeable death, and in an instant, this result took away all the hope in his heart.
"Hey." Lao Jiang beside him suddenly picked up the phone. A noisy radio wave came from the phone receiver, "Hello? Lao Jiang said again.
"I'm Luo Jin......" Luo Jin's voice was faintly distinguishable from the noise. Luo Jin stood at the bow of the boat and dialed Lao Jiang's phone. "I'm at sea, at the junction of the Southeast Sea, and it's storming. Luo Jin reported truthfully, "I'm going to go to the sea soon." ”
Lao Jiang faintly distinguished Luo Jin's voice, and then wanted to say something, the train entered the mountain tunnel and cut off the mobile phone signal.
Lao Jiang regretfully put down his mobile phone, and a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart, "It's Luo Jin." ”
Poker Face closed his eyes and nodded slightly.
Lao Jiang wanted to say something, but thinking that Luo Jin hadn't reported him any useful information, he kept silent.
Luo Jin noticed that the signal on his mobile phone was suddenly cut off, followed by a rumbling thunder overhead. He put the phone in a sealed plastic bag and placed it on the deck. After putting on all the equipment, I jumped into the churning sea.
Luo Jin fluttered in the water for a long time, and under the churning of the huge waves, he finally slowly went deep under the waves. It was the first time he had dived in such a hostile environment, and he panted as he looked at the oxygen tank he was carrying, and the oxygen in the tank had already used up a quarter of the oxygen after the violent tossing just now. Luo Jin tried to calm his breathing, and then slowly swam into the deep black ocean.
