Chapter 17: The Abnormality of the Ma Army
We returned to the end of the road and picked up Ma Jun to follow the second uncle.
Turning left here, we re-entered the buried dungeon, and the second uncle groped for both sides as he walked, apparently he had also made some markings.
Soon, we came to a half-dug building. With a "squeak", the second uncle reached out and opened the two wooden doors. The back of the door had also been filled with dirt, but a round hole had been dug out of it.
Soon after we entered the cave, we came to the interior of the room, which apparently seemed to be a shop, with half of the counter still standing there, and the other half had fallen to the ground. There was still another round hole in the wall of this room, and the second uncle waved his hand at us and climbed into it first.
Lantern Xiao looked at the entrance of the cave, smiled and nodded, "I'll go, you have a relative named Gao Quanbao!" ”
I didn't react for a while, and I was a little confused, "What Gao Quanbao?" ”
"Tunnel warfare!"
"It's!" I pushed the Lantern Festival, "Hurry up and get in!" ”
Lantern Xiao got into the hole first, and then I handed Ma Jun in from the outside. After a while, the channel moved horizontally and then began to turn upwards. The layout here is the same as the room we came in, and the shortcut hole left by the Zhuo family should be above our heads.
The walls of the holes on both sides of the upward passage are also dug out of grooves that can be stepped on. However, if it were the three of us going up and down, there would be no problem, but we still have a comatose horse army with us, which is a bit of a problem. It took a lot of effort for the three of us to carry Ma Jun up.
After that, it was relatively smooth, and when the three of us came out of the cave and returned to the steep slope behind the ancestral tomb, it was just the darkest time before the sun came out in the early morning. But we didn't dare to delay, so we climbed down the mountain with the horse army in the dark and went straight to the township hospital.
As soon as the doctor from the township hospital checked Ma Jun's condition, he shook his head again and again. It's really not possible to transfer to the hospital, the conditions in the township are limited, or go to the county hospital to see!
So the three of us didn't bother to drink saliva, and followed the ambulance to the county hospital overnight. The doctor at the county hospital conducted a full-body examination of Ma Jun, and the attending doctor asked us who Ma Jun was, and the second uncle said casually: "I'm his brother!" ”
The doctor nodded, "I'm afraid your brother is no longer good, but the strange thing is that he is not very old, but the organs of the whole body have shown signs of failure, and the most strange thing is that during the ultrasound examination, the echo of many organs is not obvious, and there is even no echo in some places, which makes us very puzzling." ”
I hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”
The doctor also shook his head helplessly, "To be honest, I have been a doctor for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen this situation, has he had any major surgery before?" ”
The second uncle shook his head, "There shouldn't be this!" In order to avoid the doctor's suspicion, the second uncle casually told a lie, he pointed to his head, "My brother, who has a bit of a brain problem, has been living alone in the mountains, and I haven't seen him come down for a few days, so I went up to have a look, and that's it." ”
The doctor nodded, but his expression looked even more confused, "The patient has no external injuries on his body, and his blood has also been examined, and there is no sign of poisoning, this kind of case is indeed extremely rare." ”
Lantern Xiao asked, "Is there any other way?" ”
The doctor sighed, "I'm afraid it's unlikely that he will be saved, but if your family agrees, we will examine the patient's body after death and find a way to find out the cause of the disease." ”
Hearing this, the second uncle hurriedly shook his head, "Doctor, thank you for your kindness, but, after all, death is great, since my brother is not saved, I will take him back, so that he can be buried in time." Since the family disagreed, the doctor didn't say anything more.
The doctor gave Ma Jun an infusion and injection, which actually did not help Ma Jun's physical condition in essence, but just delayed his life and alleviated the pain. We went through the formalities for Ma Jun and left with him.
The second uncle sent Ma Jun back to the old house of the old Ma family, in fact, there are still a lot of welfare and security policies for people like Ma Jun, if it weren't for his brain problems, Ma Jun's life should not be worry-free, but the basic life can still be guaranteed. But now, it has ended up like this. Thinking of this, I feel a little sad for Ma Jun.
Lantern Xiao looked at Ma Jun on the bed, his face had turned waxy yellow at this time, Lantern Xiao sighed, "It seems that he can't survive tonight, what if he dies?" Shall we find a place to bury him? ”
"No, no!" The second uncle waved his hand again and again, "We can't dispose of the corpse privately, and we won't be able to say what the problem is when the time comes." I'd better go to the village committee. With that, the second uncle turned around and walked out. In fact, many people in the village know about the second uncle sending medicine to Ma Jun to help him over the years, and coupled with Ma Jun's status as a veteran, the village committee will naturally come forward to deal with it.
Lantern Xiao and I sat down on the edge of the dusty bed. Lantern Xiao pondered for a while and said, "Zhuo Ran, you said that this has only been a short period of time, how did Ma Jun become like this?" ”
I thought for a moment, "According to the doctor, I think this strange phenomenon has something to do with the strange environment of the dungeon. ”
Lantern Xiao nodded, "It's a pity that what is behind those two doors, I'm afraid we won't see it anymore!" ”
I smiled, "If you can't see it, you can't see it, and it's definitely not a good thing to see it, maybe after seeing it, it's the same as Ma Jun." ”
Lantern Xiao sighed, "Hey, this time I'm busy in vain, and I haven't found anything good!" ”
"It turns out that your kid is still thinking about the artifact!" I glared at him, then turned to look at Ma Jun. But I was shocked to see that I don't know when Ma Jun had opened his eyes, I was coldly startled, and thought that Ma Jun was dead, but when I saw the undulating breath in his chest, I was relieved.
I hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Ma, how do you feel?" ”
As if hearing my words, Ma Jun rolled his eyes and looked at me, "Where am I?" Am I dead? ”
Lantern Xiao waved his hand again and again, "Hey! We're all alive and well! You're still alive! ”
Ma Jun nodded a little dazedly, I saw that his state seemed to be a little better, so I poured some water for him, Ma Jun took the water cup and drank it all, I saw that his face seemed to be a little ruddy.
Lantern Xiao looked at Ma Jun carefully, "You seem to be fine in this state, this face is better than mine." I'll go find your second uncle now, I don't think this person will die for a while! With that, Lantern Xiao turned around and walked out.
I think Lantern Festival is not familiar with this place after all, and he doesn't even know where the village committee is, so it's like calling him back to replace me. I just wanted to chase out, but suddenly Ma Jun grabbed me, and his hand was so strong that I couldn't break free for a while.
I looked at him with some surprise, "Uncle Ma, what do you mean by this?" ”
Ma Jun didn't speak, just stared at me. I thought that his madness was coming up again, and I didn't dare to stimulate his emotions too much, so I smiled and said, "Uncle Ma, calm down, I'm not leaving, you let go of your hand first." ”
Ma Jun didn't let go of his hand, he continued to stare at my face, and slowly said a sentence, "No wonder I think you are somewhat familiar, it turns out that you have the same thing in you." As he spoke, he smiled strangely at me, "Actually, we're all the same!" ”
I was furious by what he said, and asked in surprise, "What do you mean, how can we be the same?" Whatever you want to say, you make it clear! ”
Ma Jun was silent for a while, and after a while, his eyes rolled, and his face suddenly changed, "No, no!" You're not like me! Immediately afterward, he let go of his grip like an electric shock, "How is this possible!!" How is this possible!! Who are you!! ”
