Chapter 4: The Man Woke Up
It was a wonderful day.
In the morning, I went to the forest park to play and was struck by lightning.
Watching the noon news at noon, I learned that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, and there are people all over the world who have been struck by thunder, not just him.
In the afternoon, he saw a strange light and was taken to the mental health center of the People's Hospital, where he was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
At night, he shared a hospital room with a vegetative person who had been in a coma for 14 years.
Jin Yan looked at the roof, thinking wildly, his eyes gradually blurred, and he fell asleep in a drowsy manner. When I opened my eyes again, it was already the middle of the night.
The lights in the room were on, and the inside was still bright, but outside the window it was already dark.
Another unsatisfying roar in his stomach told him that he had been woken up from hunger.
He remembered that he had fallen asleep before dinner time. Looking at the table next to it, there is a plate of simple fast food, a little greens, and then gruel steamed buns.
It's already so cold that it doesn't taste like it.
He sighed, grabbed the cold steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. Once upon a time, there was also a time when he didn't eat well, and in a difficult environment, cold steamed buns were nothing.
As he chewed hard, he looked at the patient next to him. For the first time, he had calmed down and looked at his roommate.
The first thing that catches your eye is an iron shelf, and in the hanging bottles on the iron shelf, bubbles are bubbling one after another.
A long tube hung from the hanging bottle, all the way down, with a needle, and pierced the left wrist of the unconscious vegetative patient.
"Tick! Backbite! On the cabinet next to his pillow, on an unknown machine, the curve of an electrocardiogram was displayed, and from time to time it made an irregular ticking sound.
Looking at the patient again, he must have been moved by the nurse at this time, face up. He is a man in his thirties, very handsome, with angular eyebrows and eyes, and he can feel a sense of fortitude even when his eyes are closed. His hospital gown and quilt were old, but they were cleanly washed and didn't smell musty.
It seems that as the doctor said, he fixed enough money to put into the hospital account every month that the medical staff took good care of the man.
He lay like that, motionless, without even any twitching of his eyebrows, so serene that one suspected that he was already dead.
Jin Yan looked at it, and his eyes fell on the patient's left wrist. On the left wrist, in addition to the needle of the hanging bottle, there is a black bracelet.
It's quite strange for a big man to wear a bracelet, and it's a bracelet with a strange style. Jin Yan looked more closely, and saw a circle of holes on the bracelet surface, and twelve needles in the inner ring were still firmly pierced into the flesh of this person. And..... It's like it's grown with meat.
When Jin Yan looked closely, there was a strange light on this bracelet, as if there were nine different kinds of light that changed from time to time.
Although the light is different, this feeling is the same as when I saw the copper box with copper needles at the scrap yard.
"Is it still an illusion?" He rubbed his eyes vigorously.
After kneading, the situation was still the same, and the light on the bracelet seemed to be even brighter. The light was so appealing that the young man couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
Just as his fingers touched the surface of the black bracelet, a bright electric current involuntarily appeared from his fingertips and flowed towards the bracelet as if attracted.
How can there be electricity in my body? Jin Yan feels like he's going crazy, hallucination? Or is it an illusion? Is this really the symptom of schizophrenia in the diagnosis?
Almost instantly, the electric current flowed at high speed on the black bracelet, and one after another quaint and strange lines began to appear on the bracelet's body, and the twelve holes that were originally empty began to appear one by one beads of different colors.
Starting with white beads, cyan, purple, blue, yellow...... Until a nine-colored bead, all the holes were filled.
At this moment, the sound of the ECG machine on the bedside table was rapid and loud. Then, Jin Yan saw that the man opened his eyes.
He was still a little foggy when he first opened his eyes, and then shook his head vigorously, as if he felt that something was wrong, and then looked at his left wrist, his eyes were fixed on the bracelet, and he didn't move for a long time, and the whole person seemed to remember a long, long past.
Then he looked out the window again.
The sky outside the window, it seems, seems to be a little different.
It was only in the end that he turned his gaze to the young man in front of him, who was about thirteen or fourteen years old and wearing a hospital gown.
Being stared at by him, Jin Yan woke up from the shock, "You, hello, are you awake?" ”
"Sort of...... Wake up. The man said, and then asked, "Kid, you're hospitalized, aren't you?" What about your parents? ”
Jin Yan pointed to the folding bed on the right, "I didn't run around, I was hospitalized here, and that was my bed." ”
"My name is Jin Yan. The golden words of Chrysostom. I don't have parents. He added, "Uncle Da, the old man at the scrap yard, sent me to the hospital." ”
"Oh, you're an orphan too." The man's tone sank, as if he understood something, "What kind of disease did you get into?" ”
Jin Yan scratched his head embarrassedly, "I said that I could see some strange lights, but they always didn't believe me and sent me for examination, and the doctor said that I had schizophrenia." ”
"You probably don't understand what schizophrenia is." He added, "In other words, it's also called psychosis." ”
He thought that the man would immediately distance himself from him. Unexpectedly, the man smiled at himself.
He looks good when he laughs. Jin Yan said in his heart.
The man grabbed the needle of the hanging bottle and pulled the needle out directly, shook his head, sat up, and looked at the young man in front of him seriously.
"Hello Jin Yan, my name is Jin Ling, the Jin of the Three Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, will be the Ling Ling. From now on, we will be patients in the same ward. He said.
"Hello Uncle Jin." Jin Yan remembered what happened just now, and pointed to the bracelet of nine-colored light on the other party's wrist, "Your bracelet ......"
"Bracelets?" Jin Ling was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again, "That's a very magical bracelet." You can see its immortal light, and you're also an immortal cultivator? ”
"Immortal cultivator?" Jin Yan was blinded. I just saw things with light in my hallucinations, your uncle is good, he slept for fourteen years and got up, he didn't say a word, what kind of immortal power, immortal cultivators have come out. It seems that uncle, you don't live in the wrong hospital, your mind is full of online immortal cultivation novels, and you can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy.
In other words, fourteen years ago, was there an online immortal cultivation novel?
Looking at Jin Yan's blinded eyes, Jin Ling still changed the subject, "Jin Yan, then let me ask you something, what year is it now?" What is this place of ours? Do you know how long I slept? These are the things he needs to know when he wakes up from a deep sleep.
"In the year 2018 of the Eastern A.D., on the 15th day of September. We are here in Yangjialing Street, Leijiang City, Dongming Province. Well, I think I've heard from a doctor that you've been asleep for fourteen years. Jin Yan said.
