introduction

Push open a door, is the only big cinema in our county, now arranged into an auditorium, usually the screen for movies is pushed to the depths of the stage, vacant space to set up a small table, put a microphone wrapped in red cloth, and then put a pot of spider plants, directly above the stage also hung a long banner, red background and white letters: National Model Worker Tao Yong Commendation Conference

Then the audience applauded, and I was pushed onto the stage by countless hands, and I was greeted by our usually frosty old dean looking at me with an amiable smile. I tilted my head a little and found many familiar faces sitting in the first row of the stage, including Mr. Zhang, the head teacher of my secondary school, Uncle Zhao, an old comrade-in-arms of my father who helped me arrange work, and Dr. Li, who was in charge of taking me when I first went to work...... Even my elementary and junior high school homeroom teachers came. Although the audience was noisy, I could still hear them in tears and a little choked up: "This stinky boy can actually have ...... today"

Immediately afterwards, the old dean said excitedly into the microphone: "Welcome our national model worker Tao Yong to the stage!" Comrade Tao Yong is one of the first pharmacists in the country...... Creak...... In just four years of working life, the research has been ...... Creak...... It has made a ...... for China's medical industry Creak...... "My ears hurt from the noise coming from the microphone, and I barely heard what he was saying....... But he finally turned to me and whispered something that I heard very clearly, and he said, "Young man, I really had no eyes in the past, and I actually missed such a great talent as you!" I have decided to give you the seat of my dean, and besides, to marry my daughter to you! ”

At this time, all the members stood and applauded, countless flowers were thrown at me, countless girls were screaming at me, I couldn't believe that there would be such a happy moment, only grinning and giggling.

Suddenly, there were several strange noises in my ears, mixed with the sound of iron objects rubbing, which was particularly harsh against the reverberation of the spacious auditorium. I followed the sound and looked back, I don't know when the ropes fixed on the movie curtain behind me began to break one after another, and a large heavy curtain gradually lost its support, and it fell to the stage in the dark!

But I didn't dodge, I didn't change my face, and I let myself be shrouded in darkness above me. Just scolded in my heart: X, I know it's a dream!

Chapter 1: Train Horror

In fact, I rarely dream, and on a rare occasion, it was as if I knew that I was dreaming, and I was not at all confused by the colorful and bizarre dreams.

It's just that this dream is somewhat too close to what I'm going through right now. When I opened my eyes, there was a small square table in front of me, a green bench on the opposite side, an aluminum mesh luggage rack on my head, and a thick glass window that was pushed and pulled upwards not far away, and the green mountains and green waters were speeding by. You guessed it, I'm on the train, the train into Beijing.

It is said that I have lived for almost 30 years, and I have never left our small county town, but this time I have the opportunity to go to such a big place at public expense, all thanks to the new socialist policy...... Yes, a super mischievous student like me, who tortured countless teachers to the ground at my feet during school, would be recommended by the academy to go to Beijing to participate in the training and examination of the first batch of national pharmacists, which can be said to be the smoke of the ancestral grave!

If it weren't for the fact that the old man in the family sacrificed his life for the country, how could I be treated preferentially as a military martyr from time to time. Even the ride is free.

The old dean's entrustment when he was leaving still sounded in his ears: "Da Yongzi, remember that you are not only going to represent yourself this time, but also our hospital, our county, and countless fathers and villagers......"

No, why don't you just take a test! In fact, his subtext is: Little Wang, if you dare to cause trouble when you go out, I will mobilize the people of the whole county to throw rotten eggs at you!

How could I be, all I pondered was how I could find an excuse to spend a few more days in Beijing and not rush back to work.

I was thinking about the arrival of the train. Diagonally opposite, a young woman reached for a large bag on the luggage rack. Somehow, the bag was stuck on the luggage rack, she was not tall, and she didn't pull it after a few pulls, showing an anxious look. Naturally, I got up and walked over and helped her take her bag off. The girl blushed and thanked me a few times.

I walked back to my seat while reminiscing about the beautiful feeling of being thanked by the girl, and when I was about to walk, suddenly the body seemed to shake, and then something flashed in front of me and slammed into the seat where I had been sitting. The crowd exclaimed. I was also stunned for a moment, and I felt that I could still feel a chill on my face.

When I looked down, it turned out to be a rubber wire bag with a bag opening, which looked like it had fallen from the luggage rack above my seat, and from the protruding edges and corners above, it seemed to be stuffed with a lot of hard stuff.

In the midst of the astonishment of the onlookers, a man with a somewhat rickety figure and a dusty body squeezed in from the periphery, and said, "I'm sorry, big brother, I didn't put it aside." "I dragged the bag and wanted to leave. Before I could speak, two police officers came in, grabbed his hand, and ordered him to put it down. The bag was opened in the tugging of the three men, good fellow, filled with fifty or sixty centimeters of rails. It turned out that this guy was a habitual thief of the railroad tracks, and he was taken away by the police immediately.

Looking at my seat again, the thick green leather had been poked out of a few small holes, and the rest of the place was scarred by the edges and corners of the rails. If I had been sitting there, I guess my head would have been open.

No wonder the old lady on the other side talked all the way and said that I was really big enough.

It's really hard to sit in a long-distance hard seat, especially in the second half of the night when everyone is sleepy, and what makes matters worse is that I don't know which buddy is snoring louder than me, waking me up alive. It was only half past two in the morning, and the snoring had no intention of ending, so he simply stood up, went to relieve his hands first, and then walked to the junction of the two carriages, and looked out against the door glass.

The train was passing through a large field at this time, which was different from the endless flat rice fields in the northeast, and as soon as it entered the Kannai, the small hills began to multiply, and the paddy fields also turned into dry land, and the shadows were not real, so I thought it was mainly wheat. From time to time, it seems that I will pass by some villages, and the white roofs are faint, but there is no light, and there is a bit of an eerie atmosphere.

"Ah!!h Shocking like a bolt of lightning across the dark sky, a woman's mournful scream rang out from the otherwise quiet carriage. The scream made my heart tremble, my body trembled, and my forehead hit the door glass painfully.

I swear, no matter what happens, it's not as terrifying as the screams of these sisters.

When I looked at it, an eldest sister in her forties was sitting at the door of the toilet, her mouth was wide open, and she looked at the toilet with round eyes, as if she had seen a ghost, and she was so scared that she couldn't make a sound.

I was only a few steps away from her, so I walked over and followed her gaze into the bathroom.

It was dark in the toilet, and I could vaguely see a black mass hanging down from the ceiling, like a centipede, sticking out many branches and forks, swinging around with the swaying of the carriage, and from time to time there was a flash and a thunderclap.

"It's the Hanged Man! It's the hanged man! The eldest sister on the ground said in a trembling voice.

Hey, can you not jump to conclusions! I don't know what it is, but I'm sure it's not the Hangman. After all, I just came out of there ten minutes ago! At that time, everything was fine, and there was nothing unusual.

The conductor in the lounge next to him was also awakened by the commotion, and walked over with his eyes rubbed and his face stretched. He was also surprised to see this scene, and quickly picked up the flashlight on his waist and shone it into the toilet.

It was only then that I could see that it was a part of the ceiling that was hanging down, and that the various wires and dust that had accumulated for a long time were wrapped together and half-hung in the air. One of the longer ones was obviously broken, and when it shook against metal such as a handle on the wall, it would emit electric light and sparks.

The conductor rushed to operate the electric switch and asked the onlookers to return to their seats. The eldest sister who was sitting on the ground didn't know who was helping her up, and at this time she was sitting in a nearby seat with her eyes blank.

Although it was a false alarm, it was a bit strange that such an accident happened in the middle of the night, and people who woke up had nothing to do and began to talk like water boiling a pot. I also felt a little strange, and I began to have a faint sense of foreboding in my heart.

Sure enough, the premonition came true immediately, and after a while the conductor came over with the police. The police officer asked, "Who was the last to use this toilet just now?" ”

The eldest sister, whose eyes were blank, immediately shouted in panic: "I didn't go in!" ……。 The policeman hurriedly said, "I mean the one who is ahead of you." ”

I felt that there was nothing to hide, so I stood up and said calmly, "It's me." ”

This policeman is a big brother in his forties, with a strong physique and a dark complexion, and he looks like he had been a soldier and turned to work on the railway. He came up to me and whispered, "Come with me to the office." After saying that, he turned around and left. I guess I didn't want the people next to me to think that I was "arrested".

I obediently followed him to the office, he sat me down and poured me a glass of water, and after seeing my face clearly in the bright light, he suddenly said in surprise: "It's you, aren't you the ...... who was almost smashed just now?"

I nodded awkwardly yes.

He sat down, took out a small notebook and a pen, and asked me, "What is your name, young man?" ”

When I looked, this was the beginning of the trial of prisoners! But there is no way, so I answer truthfully.

Immediately after that, he asked me what I was doing and what I was going to do in Beijing, and finally asked me to show him my ID.

I pulled my work card out of my jacket pocket and handed it to him.

He opened his work card and looked at it carefully, suddenly changed his calm attitude just now, and said in surprise: "You are studying nursing?" ”

I was immediately impressed by his ability to choose what to focus on. He honestly said "um" in his mouth, but shouted in his heart: "Yes! Lao Tzu is a nurse, what's wrong? ”

Yes, I am the legendary male nurse. But who says that nurses can't be men? Who can say that a man who has studied nursing is not a man?

I remember that when I was admitted to the secondary school, I didn't have any fighting spirit at all, and I just thought that after graduating from middle school, I would go to Guannai with a few buddies to play, go to Beijing, or go to the south. But Lao Zhao, one of my father's comrades-in-arms back then, was not afraid to tell me anything about learning mathematics, physics and chemistry well and going all over the world, at least after going to secondary school, he would have to mix and engage in a united front, running to my house again and again, and so fooling my family that a group of relatives took turns to bomb me. In the end, I was annoyed by the nagging, so I completely threw the school to him, and I didn't even read the admission letter properly, and I didn't know that I had become a devil until I started school.

There are only 4 boys in the whole class of 26 people in the nursing major. If you think how lucky you are to have a little red in this thousand flowers, you are very wrong! At that time, the original intention of many secondary school classes was to arrange some special students, such as the last batch of educated youths who returned to their hometowns, some medical soldiers who were transferred from the army, and some relatives of the leaders and brains at all levels in the county.

The most terrifying thing is not this, but our vicious homeroom teacher. For example, knowing that big men have thick hands and are inevitably prone to mistakes when they get needles, they even stipulate that if a few of our boys can't meet the assessment requirements, we will let the rest of the girls practice needles with us. It made us cry for days, and we washed our faces with tears in the dormitory every day. Later, I gave her a nickname: "Extermination Master".

I don't know if I admit defeat, in order to prove to this old lady that men can also get needles or what, I insisted on the entire secondary school course and successfully got the graduation certificate. But when it came time to intern, the problem came again, as soon as I saw a big bearded man like me walking into the consultation room with a needle, the young girl would hide her face and be ashamed, the older sister would laugh and scold, and the child would be even more frightened and jump up and run away.

So the almighty Uncle Zhao appeared again, and took it for granted that I was assigned to work in the pharmacy of the county hospital, with not much work, dispensing medicine every day, reading martial arts novels, and just being so down-to-earth, I didn't think much about going out. It's seven years.

Returning to the question at hand, I asked the policeman if I could go back. He thought for a long time with a solemn expression, and finally said, "You can't go anywhere until you can't rule out human sabotage." ”
