Chapter 18: A Strange Condition
Wei Yi turned to look at Shen Xiaoman suspiciously, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" Why can't it be passed? ”
Shen Xiaoman glanced at Shen Cheng who was lying on the bed, sighed and said, "I don't know why, Dad is awake during the day, but at night he seems to have changed as if he is a different person, and he is very irritable." He didn't even recognize me. ”
Wei Yi was startled, hurriedly squatted down, and asked in a soft voice: "Tell me about the specific situation." When did he start doing this? How long has it been? ”
Shen Xiaoman looked at Wei Yi's eyes, and found a long-lost sense of security in the other party's eyes, and she said slowly: "More than a month ago, there was nothing to eat in our shelter. Dad said he was going to go out and find it himself, but I was scared. And he came out with me. ”
She paused, then continued: "At that time, we passed a river, and I saw some beautiful fruits floating in the river, so I fished a few of them. When I came back, I told my father. He said he'd give me a taste first. But, however, after he ate one, he passed out. ”
When she said this, as if she remembered something frightening, she squatted on the ground with her head in her hands and sobbed. Wei Yi hurriedly persuaded him with good words and coaxed for a long time, which made Shen Xiaoman's mood ease down slightly.
Shen Xiaoman wiped his eyes, glanced at Shen Cheng on the bed, and said with a crying voice: "He has been in a coma for a few days and nights, no matter how I call him or shoot him, he has no reaction. I'm scared to death. I thought he would never wake up again. ”
Wei Yi hurriedly comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, you see, your father is still breathing, and he is still alive." Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, what about later? What happened then? How did you get through that time? ”
Shen Xiaoman did not answer. She wiped the tears from her face, ran to the side, pulled a chair, and asked Wei Yi to sit down first. She herself ran to a pile of packages very obediently, rummaging through them.
After a while, she came to Wei Yu with a pile of food, and said very sincerely: "Uncle Wei, during the day, I thought you were a bad person and was very scared, so I hid. I didn't expect you to leave everything you ate to me, you must not have eaten yet, well, you can eat something first. It's all you left me during the day. ”
Wei Yi hurriedly shook his hand and said with a smile: "I've eaten a lot, you can keep it first." Come, sit here and tell me, what happened after that? You said before that he was awake during the day, and he didn't know anyone at night, what is the matter? ”
Shen Xiaoman saw Wei Yi say this, so he had to pile those things aside, moved the chair, sat opposite Wei Yi, and continued: "At that time, I was very afraid. Dad was unconscious again. I ate everything I could at home, and then I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it, so I went out to find it myself. ”
She slowly recounted what she had experienced to Wei Yu in detail. Wei Yi only understood at this time why the child ran away as soon as he saw her. It turned out that once, Shen Xiaoman finally found something to eat, but on the way back, he met a few people who also came out to find food.
When the other party saw her as a little girl, he had bad intentions. Fortunately, this child was smart and clever, and when he saw that the other party's eyes were not good, he immediately pretended that the adults in the family were not far away, and shouted happily to the side not far away: "Dad, Mom, uncle, you come quickly, come quickly, there are still people here." ”
It happened that there was a strong wind blowing at that time, and the people could not hear it really, and in their panic, they mistook the sound of the wind for an echo. They thought that the adults in the child's family were not far away, so they fled in a panic. Shen Xiaoman was able to escape. Since then, she has never dared to come into contact with strangers at will.
After Wei Yi heard this, he hated it in his heart. If such pickled people are allowed to meet them again, they will definitely be dismantled in eight pieces to vent their hatred. But when he thought about it, this is how this world is. Human nature dictates that great calamities are coming, and all kinds of dirty things must be unavoidable. Even if he can get rid of those people this time, what about next time?
He sighed softly and continued to ask gently, "What about later?" When did your dad wake up? ”
Shen Xiaoman thought about it, shook his head and said, "I don't know either, it seems to have been five days ago." One day, when I was just waking up, he suddenly yelled and ran out. I chased him for a long time before I caught up. He looked horrible. They didn't even recognize me at first. He also grabbed me by the neck. I called him desperately and hit him, and he kind of understood. At the time, it was really scary. ”
As she said this, her body curled up involuntarily, her hands clasped around her knees, and she shivered uncontrollably.
Wei Yi didn't know what to say, he comforted Shen Xiaoman for a while, temporarily alleviating the fear in the child's heart. He thought for a while, got up and walked towards Shen Cheng, and said as he walked, "Let me see him, maybe he has food poisoning or something." There will always be a solution. Don't be afraid, I'm here. ”
Shen Xiaoman was taken aback, jumped down all of a sudden, and shouted: "Don't wake him up, he told me not to call him at night." You, don't go over. ”
Wei Yiman waved his hand nonchalantly, and said as he walked: "Don't worry, I'm just going to see, I won't wake him up." Don't worry. ”
He walked to Shen Cheng's side in a few steps and observed with bated breath for a moment. Only then did he realize that Shen Cheng's hands and feet were tied to the ground with ropes, and the other end of the rope was tied under the bed.
He took the torch and looked at Shen Cheng's face. The latter's brow was furrowed, his teeth were clenched, and his body would tremble from time to time. It's just that the light is a little dim, and Wei Yi has never been able to see Shen Cheng's face and lip color clearly, and there is no way to further understand his situation.
He observed for a moment, tiptoed back to Shen Xiaoman, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with those ropes?" Are you tied? ”
Shen Xiaoman shook it, and nodded again, making Wei Yi a little confused.
"My dad told me to tie his hands and feet. I didn't want to, so he tied his feet with his own hands and forced me to tie his hands too. I don't want to do that. She lowered her head and whispered.
Wei Yi sighed, Shen Cheng in his impression was such a person. After he was silent for a moment, he asked Shen Xiaoman, "Do you think this is good?" From now on, I'm going to stay and take care of you and your dad. Tell me about the situation around you, let's find a crowded place as soon as possible, and find a doctor to take a look at your father, what do you think? ”
Shen Xiaoman was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and agreed with great joy. Since then, Wei Yi has stayed here, taking care of Shen Cheng's father and daughter, while going out to find a possible human settlement. I have been looking for this for a long time.
During this period, Shen Cheng did wake up during the day, as Shen Xiaoman said, and his mind was extremely sober. But at night, it is as if he is a different person, and he will roar hysterically and accompanied by a strong tendency to violence.
Wei Yi had to knock him unconscious several times and let him sleep peacefully until daylight the next day. On such a day, every day passes, Wei Yi's heart will hurt for a day. Shen Cheng, the Zheng Zheng man who was willing to sacrifice himself to save himself, has now become like this. This made him feel as if he was blocked by something, and he was very uncomfortable.
According to Shen Cheng himself, he was afraid that the fruit that Shen Xiaoman had brought back was poisonous, and wanted to try it first, just in case. But as soon as he ate it, he immediately lost consciousness. When he woke up, he saw that Xiaoman had been taken captive, so he shouted and chased after him.
Shen Cheng thought that he had caught up with that person, and was struggling to strangle that person to death, when he suddenly heard Shen Xiaoman's eager shout. He woke up suddenly, only to find that it was Shen Xiaoman who was pinching.
Since then, he was extremely scared, for fear that he would hurt his daughter again, so he forced Shen Xiaoman to tie himself up.
But whenever Wei Yi asked him what he felt like at night, he didn't remember anything, only that he fell asleep as soon as he lay down at night, and didn't wake up until the next day, without any consciousness during this time. He said he felt like he had just slept for a while, but it was only from Xiaoman's frightened eyes and the scars on her body that he sensed the gravity of the matter.
Wei Yi sensed a hint of unusualness from what he said. He pondered for a long time, and a strange thought came to his mind: "Could it be that the fruit will make people hallucinate?" But it's too strange to be sober during the day and a different person at night. ”
He couldn't understand the reasoning of this, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He thought that he had to find the other surviving humans as soon as possible, find a professional doctor for Shen Cheng, and have a good examination.
For some time afterward, he was constantly out and about. When he had searched near, he searched farther away. But there were endless ruins everywhere, and he often worked all day without finding a trace. Even if some sporadic traces can be found, it is impossible to completely determine whether they are left over from the recent past.
He can only keep marking the places where he finds traces of human activity, and then mark these places on a simple map he has drawn in the hope of finding some clues. Fortunately, indispensable items such as food are widely available.
Wei Yi even found a large granary in a hidden place. Although there was not much left in it, it was enough for the three of them to live for a while.
In this way, he gathered food and looked for signs of human activity. He goes out early and returns late every day, tirelessly running on the ruins of the outside world, day after day, not daring to slack off in the slightest. And the reason why he can persist so much is simply because of Shen Xiaoman's ardent anticipation and deep gratitude to Shen Cheng for saving his life.
Since Shen Xiaoman came, he didn't have to worry about living every day. After her mind was relaxed, the sadness on her face disappeared, and she lived extremely happily every day. Although my father is still crazy when he wakes up, with Wei Yi in front of him, life is gradually getting better. In her little heart, she slowly began to feel that there are actually more good people in this world.
