My mind was a mess, the baby-like thing I saw in the hospital and the horrific wound on Jiang Xun's body, the two images appeared alternately, I tightened my brows, curled up my body, and when I was dazed and about to sleep, I heard a soft knock on the door in my ears. Because of my weakness and semi-sleepiness, I only trembled my shoulders when I first heard it, and I didn't react immediately, listening to the faint footsteps gradually approaching, until I came to the side before stopping.
The scent of the visitor was familiar to me, and it didn't feel threatening.
I didn't move until I felt him sit down on the edge of the bed and put a hand on my head, which for a moment felt like an electric shock, and then I woke up and rolled over and sat up.
In the dimness, the two faces were close together, only a few centimeters apart, and a pair of eyes looked at each other, and the dark pupils intertwined to reflect each other's appearances.
He obviously didn't change anything, and the look in his eyes was no different from the gaze he had looked at me in the past eight years, but it took me a while to suddenly discern the person in front of me, "Ziwei? Why are you here? ”
He seemed to be stunned for a moment, with an unnatural expression on his face, and then quickly stepped away, stood up in a panic, and distanced himself from me.
The words "I ......" were knotted in his throat, and he paused before continuing: "I just saw that your face was not good, and I was very worried about you, so I came to take a look." ”
His attitude was not quite right, I was a little dizzy, raised my hand and touched the place he had touched just now, I don't know if it was because my nerves were too sensitive, at this time I still felt that there was some very strange numbness, but it was very faint, basically negligible.
I looked in the direction of the door, and because of my emotions, I couldn't remember whether I had pinned the latch when I came in.
"Master." He spoke, clasping his hand at his side, "You can sleep a little longer, I'll go back first." ”
"Wait." I stopped him, "I have something to ask you." ”
I pressed my temples to wake myself up and said, "You really stayed by my side after I was unconscious in the hospital that time, and nothing ever happened in between?" ”
His expression stiffened, he didn't expect me to mention it, he was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at me again, his eyes quickly moved away from me, and fell somewhere on the ground, and when he refused to speak in the face of me, I knew that he had something to hide, and was about to ask, but he lowered his head and whispered, "I don't know what happened, at that time, there were some things that I forgot all." ”
"What do you mean?" I don't understand.
"You passed out twice that day, the second time in the ultrasound room, with the doctor, and your conversations were all done alone, and I didn't know anything."
"I wonder why you pretended nothing had happened afterwards, when I woke up for the second time?" Everything I experienced that day was not a dream, and I didn't even know this fact clearly until now, so the "fetus" in my womb was also real.
I was horrified, and I felt unreasonable in retrospect, "No, the doctor also reacted the same as you, forgetting everything about the previous events, and the test results given to me were replaced with another one." ”
"Ziwei." I said, "You look up at me and tell me what the hell is going on?" ”
Ziwei's hands became tighter and tighter, the bones on the back of his hands bulged outward, as if he wanted to break through the thin layer of skin and flesh to come out, and he himself was also wrapped in a fragile film, he wanted to break free, but he couldn't help it, his mouth was open, and he couldn't speak, as if he was also in a struggle, dragged by something.
"You don't need to worry about me." I stood up and walked to him, my right hand touched the back of his hand, grabbed it from the side, the palm felt cold to the touch, and comforted him and said: "You are what I grew up watching, there has never been a gap between us for so many years, this matter is very important to me, I hope you can be honest with me, I can't figure it out, what reason do you have to hide it from me?" ”
He was silent, and I asked, "What happened to you that day after the doctor escaped from the ultrasound room?" Or rather, what did you do? ”
"Nothing." Ziwei denied it almost immediately, hesitated for a moment after speaking, took his hand away from my palm, and said: "I took you back to the ward after she left, and I didn't notice anything abnormal about her the next day, and the rest, if you don't mention it, I really don't remember anything, I only felt that I had a dream, and I fell asleep in a trance in front of the hospital bed, and when I woke up, many places in my memory were blank, and later I recalled some, but it was only a fragment of incomplete fragments." ”
I frowned, "Why didn't you tell me before?" ”
"I thought it was just my nightmare." Ziwei pursed his mouth, as if he was going to swallow something in his stomach, raised his eyes and looked at me, but he still didn't hold back, and said to me: "Didn't you tell me about you?" ”
"In the past eight years, there has never been no estrangement between us, we just concealed it well, and no one has pierced it."
"Master." He called out to me, a slight tremor in his voice, "I can't believe you." ”
I was silent, unable to explain and unable to comfort.
I wanted to tell him that there were some things that I didn't explain to him, not because I deliberately tried to hide them from him, but because I didn't even know about them, and I didn't have the right opportunity to say it.
I knew we needed a thorough communication and talk about everything, but that's what we're not good at. Too close relationships make us all give too many unreasonable expectations to each other, always hoping that the other party can understand everything about us, but these two thousand days and nights of getting along with each other have nothing to say at this moment.
"I'll go back first." I just looked at him, knowing that he was still lying to me, but I couldn't say anything.
There are real problems in front of me, and I can't protect myself, and I can't care about his feelings at all.
If I really have a misshapen and strange creature in my womb, when did it appear, how did it get into my body, and most importantly, how do I strip it from my body.
I couldn't think of an answer, and I was troubled by these two worries, and I sat in my room until dawn, heard movement outside, and after washing up it was a long time before I opened the door and went out, and stood in front of the railing, and saw that the candles in the hallway had burned out overnight.
There are people practicing in the wide courtyard below, the man is practicing the sword, wearing a short brown, stepping like flowing water, the sword walks like a dragon out of the sea, the movement is orderly, rigid and soft, after perceiving my gaze, the wrist flows, pulls out a sword flower and throws it gently, puts the sword in his hand behind his shoulder, and looks up.
The four eyes knew each other, separated by a distance, I was stunned, I didn't know what to do, and the other party just nodded to me and said hello, I also smiled at him in response, watched him walk to the stone table and pick up the small wine jar on it and drank a few sips, put it down with a condensed expression, walked with the sword, and practiced again in a blink of an eye.
"That's our second young master, he gets up early every day to practice."
I followed the sound and turned my face away, and I saw the same girl from last night.
"Morning." She smiled, "Are you feeling a little better today?" ”
"It's all right." I said, "Thank you." ”
She still held a tray in her hand as she did last night, and said as she walked to the room where Jiang Xun was: "It was too late yesterday, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Lan Ruo, and I haven't asked the girl the names of you and your friends." ”
"My name is Shen Qing." I followed behind her and said to her with heavy eyes: "The one who is still in a coma is called Jiang Xun, and the shorter one is called Tang Jiao." ”
"And what about the other one? Is it your apprentice? She cut off what I hadn't finished saying and said, "I heard him call you Master." ”
I nodded, answered, and said, "His name is Shen Ziwei." ”
"Ziwei." She repeated it and said with a smile: "The son is ugly, the son is not harmful, what a strange name." ”
I never thought of it like this. I didn't really put too much thought into the name when I first took it off, just remembering that it was when we met.
"He really cares about you." Lan Ruo said: "You were uncomfortable at the time, he acted more anxious than anyone else, has your relationship always been so good?" ”
Ziwei's words were in my heart, and I secretly worried about my heart, but on the surface I still said to her: "Both of us have no father or mother, we have grown up dependent on each other since childhood, and we both regard each other as our biological brothers and sisters. ”
Lan Ruo thought about something, put down the tray after entering the door, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, then you must be very happy to have such a brother." ”
I didn't know what to say, so I didn't answer with a smile, and went with her to change Jiang Xun's dressing.
During the day, when the room was lit up, and when Lan Ruo took off the gauze on his body, I saw that his skin was the same as last time, and there were a lot of blood-soaked patches, and I didn't see any discoloration when I pressed it with my hand. In thought, when Jiang Xun, who was in a coma, sprinkled the medicinal powder in Lan Ruo's hand on his wound, he frowned as if he was stimulated, and suddenly coughed. The guttural voice was muddy, and I turned his head to the side, and all the blood in my mouth was coughed up, staining the pillow red.
"You press him and don't let him move and break the wound, I'll call Mr. Si Ming over immediately!" Lan Ruo was startled when she saw this, and hurriedly ran out.
Jiang Xun's expression was painful, his open mouth seemed to be about to say something, but he was blocked by the overflowing blood, and he couldn't make a sound in a vague way, I didn't dare to press his shoulder, so I had to stroke his forehead with one hand, and put the other hand on his chest, constantly reassuring him and telling him not to move.
Jiang Xun didn't understand my words at all, I felt that he must have seen something in his dream, but the two of them didn't want to understand each other, and I didn't have any way to help him.
Half of his neck was covered with blood, and the remaining left hand, the piece of blood jade on his wrist did not react at this time, and the blood lines were scattered and lifeless, turning into an ordinary piece of jade.
