After dawn, we learned two shocking news. First, the fourth master is awake! Second, the fourth master is missing!!

I couldn't understand why so many shocking things had happened overnight when it had been so uneventful for more than a month. The three of us blocked the little nurse on duty in the ICU in the corridor, like three tigers surrounding a little sheep, and kept asking what was going on, why did the fourth master disappear? The little nurse was so frightened that she couldn't say a word. Seeing that she was about to collapse, Lao Xu hurriedly pulled me and the scholar and said, "Don't worry, let her speak slowly." ”

The little nurse seemed to have seen a savior, and hid behind Lao Xu and said, "I... I don't know how. That one... I was on duty last night and checked in the middle of the night... House. When I found room 8, the door was open. I.. I just pushed it away and took a look, and that... That Mr. Long was sitting on the hospital bed, and I was startled. He... When he saw me, he made a 'shhh' gesture and then said let me out and close the door. ”

"That's when he woke up, woke up, you didn't know to notify us? How did your hospital do it? Anyone can come in, anyone can get out. You're a vegetable market, don't you just stroll around?! The scholar was furious.

"Gotcha, gotcha. Scholar, you've scared this girl. Don't be afraid, girl, you continued. "I was afraid that the scholar's eyes were as bright as brass bells and frightened the little nurse, so I hurriedly stopped them.

"That, I'll go to the doctor's duty room and call someone, we're in the past, Mr. Long just... It's gone! The little nurse was about to cry," and then we turned up the surveillance and didn't find him out. But... But he's really gone! I don't know how, it's really not my fault..."

I saw that the little nurse didn't want to lie, so I quickly said a few words of comfort. The three of us went to room 8 of the ICU ward, and the bed was empty. There are a lot of instruments around, and they are well organized. But there is no trace of the fourth master. The scholar stood at the window and looked out, then turned around and said, this is the eighth floor, and it is impossible to jump out of the window without wings. But we also watched the surveillance, and only saw the image of the little nurse going in and out, and really didn't see the fourth master walking out of the ward. What the hell is going on?

I returned to the orthopedic ward with the scholar and Lao Xu. I can't figure out what happened. Do you want to call the police?

The scholar said, "Mr. Xia, are you not sick?" How do you tell the police about this? Didn't you see the surname Sue? I can't wait to judge you for stealing watermelons when you were in elementary school. Let's call the police like this, can he believe that the four of us are good citizens? When the time comes, stealing chickens will not make it impossible to lose rice, and it will lose the wife and the soldiers. The Sprinkle family doesn't want to go to prison and go to prison. ”

"I think the fourth master should be fine. No matter what he said goodbye for, no matter how he didn't say goodbye, at least he woke up and recovered well. That's good. "Lao Xu is very pertinent, at least our friends have survived the dangerous period, which is enough to make us happy.

It's just that the fourth master is so seriously injured, and he must be very weak after surgery, why does he have to say goodbye? Although he has not been in contact with the fourth master for a long time, there is always a down-to-earth aura in the depths of his white image. With him, I always feel safe and secure. At that time, in the ancient tomb, if the fourth master ignored the three of us, it would probably not be difficult for him to escape with his whole body. Thinking of his good deeds, I couldn't help but start worrying about him again. Regardless of why he secretly left on his own, I hope he can be safe and well.

I, the scholar and Lao Xu have been in this hospital for almost two months, on the one hand, to let the scholar and Lao Xu recuperate, and on the other hand, to take care of the fourth master. Both the scholar and Lao Xu were injured in the bones, in fact, it was the same whether they were recuperating in the hospital or not, and obviously the latter reason was the main reason why we stayed in the hospital. Now the fourth master is saying goodbye, and the three of us are not interesting in the hospital, in addition to playing poker every day, we use Lao Xu's notebook to watch movies, and even smoke a cigarette and secretly go to the balcony with the doctors and nurses behind our backs. The three of us had enough of this kind of life, so we didn't even hesitate and went through the discharge procedures. Lao Xu injured his arm, and he only needed to hang his arm. The scholar's right leg was not yet neat, so he could only push it in a wheelchair. The three of them got out of the hospital, which can be regarded as a joy. After having a good meal in the small county town, I drove Lao Xu's car and took these two buddies straight to Zhengzhou.

Without mentioning gossip all the way, when we arrived in Zhengzhou, the three of us decided that it would be better to live together. Lao Xu lived in the professor's dormitory of Zhengda University, which was really inconvenient, so he chose to live with scholars. The scholar's hometown is a small county in Henan, and now he is only a rented house in Zhengzhou. In fact, his family conditions are very good, but now he has not found a suitable other half, so he has not bought a house, but rented a two-bedroom house near the newspaper office to be a "happy bachelor".

The scholar still went through the procedures for asking for leave, and by adding oil and vinegar, he made his time "because he has a sense of social responsibility as a reporter, in a breaking news incident, for the sake of first-hand news materials, he was injured in the line of duty", coupled with Lao Xu's reputation, the leaders of the ancient and modern newspapers not only believed the scholar's nonsense, but also sent an associate editor-in-chief to visit the scholar with flowers, fruits and condolences money. This simply made me despise scholars more and more in my heart......

Under the deception of the scholar and Lao Xu, I quit my job as a "code farmer" in Beijing and started to be his and Lao Xu's housekeeper in the scholar's small home. It's still 9 to 5 every day, but I get up at 9 o'clock to play cards, listen to songs, and play games with them at home, and the three of them go out to eat and drink at 5 o'clock in the evening. I always felt that I was calculated by the scholar and Lao Xu, and let me be a good software engineer and come here to squander my youth. The scholar comforted me and said that he would get me a press card and let me follow Lao Xu for a follow-up. Lao Xu also promised me that when his injuries were completely healed, he would take me into the research group and follow him around the world, and he would be able to give me a lot of hard money. I didn't think too much about it, I just felt that they were both injured, and it was too unrighteous for me to leave like this. It's easy to find a job, but it's hard to find a brother. I just kept it a secret from my parents, only saying that the company sent me to the Zhengzhou branch on a business trip, and I wanted to stay here for a while.

Time flies, day by day in the trivial back and forth slowly passed, in my spare time, occasionally I will recall this experience, although there are many doubts that are difficult to explain, I don't know the whereabouts of the fourth master and the reason for his departure. But in the end, four people escaped death, and they also experienced so many exciting things. I stood in front of the window, looking at the cars that were shuttling back and forth like ants downstairs, the sun was setting, and the red glow in the sky was reflected in my eyes, and those experiences seemed to be a dream, and all this in front of me was the real life. Ultimately, that's just a rumor of the ancients? Legend? Or even a conspiracy? The ultimate and the fourth master, one virtual and one real, both false and true, should be a small twist and turn and a small stimulation that life has given me. I don't want to think about it anymore, I always feel that everything in the past seems to be a dream, an exciting and fantastical dream, as if I had a dream after watching too many science fiction movies or fantasy novels, but the reality reminds me that those are not dreams, they are not fantasies. The fourth master and Ah Tu really appeared in my world, and those dangerous mechanisms and unbelievable creatures in the ancient tomb really existed, and in the drawer of the scholar's house, there were still locked CDs and file bags with notes written on them from the mysterious man in black on the night of the fourth master's disappearance. I didn't know how to express it to others, and I felt that if I told what I had been through, no one would believe me, they would just look at me like a monkey and think I was talking nonsense and even that I had a nervous problem. People are like this, and things that are beyond their own experience and experience are difficult to accept. So, I can only hold those experiences in my heart, and then keep suggesting to myself that it is a dream. Living so happily every day may be the true nature of life.
