Chapter 22 Butterfly
Chapter 22 Butterfly
I stared at the phone and read those text messages three times before my brain seemed to react.
How could it be Pengpeng...
It is said that sometimes the virus will hide in the human body for a long period of time, and sometimes there will be an interval of 2 to 10 days from the exposure to the germs to the onset of the disease.
My heart ached, how could this be?He is only one year older than Chi Qian, and he is only in the fourth grade this year!Such an energetic child, when she sees me, always calls me Sanshu Sanshu from afar, and has been pestering me to make her a butterfly kite since she was a child.
No wonder my parents didn't answer the phone, maybe they were exhausted physically and mentally.
Reminiscent of the conversation between the nurse and the doctor yesterday, my heart rose again, God, please don't treat me like this, let me be born again, but make me lose more.
I couldn't calm down at all, and a terrible thought lingered in my heart.
Was it me...was it me who infected him?
Did I... kill him?
I hugged my head in pain.
Nothing happened in the previous life, so why is this happening now?Is it because of me that some kind of balance in this world has been broken?Or am I not going back to the past at all, but reborn into another parallel time and space?
If I were the butterfly flapping its wings, if so, I'd rather not be reborn...
But without rebirth, what would Chi Qian do?
The wind slammed a window against the wall, and the curtains heaved and rattled.
It was as if the air soaked in icy water had stimulated rough bumps on the skin, but the cold gradually calmed down my mind, at least smoothed the anxiety and fear that was gripping my heart.
Now is not the time to think about that.
What's the use of thinking about it now?Will Pengpeng recover from this?
He is also receiving treatment now.According to the impression in my previous life, the fatality rate of ** is about 11.00%.So there is still great hope that it will get better, right?Moreover, Pengpeng in his previous life grew up healthily and became a reliable man.
I can't panic, I can't get confused.
Chi Qian hasn't been found yet, so where will he go?
I guessed that he and Tiantian must have been entrusted to the neighbors to take care of them at the beginning, but because their adults were not around, he and Tiantian became bolder.Tiantian was worried that her brother would sneak away to the hospital. Maybe it was Pengpeng's sick appearance that made Chi Qian more worried about me, so he sneaked to the isolation area by himself, but how did he know that I was here?
Ignore this for now, and you can ask him carefully after you find him.The key is where is this careless baby now?
Will you go to the hospital?Will you go home?Will you roam the streets?Will he be abducted by traffickers?But now during the ** period, the traffickers should also suspend their business...
Hey, is this the time to think about this?
I poured water from the kettle on the cabinet and slapped my face hard—now is not the time to feel sorry for myself, I need to cheer myself up!
I looked up at the hanging bottle, probably someone came in and changed it for me while I was sleeping, and now I slowly dripped half of the bottle.
I gritted my teeth, raised my hand and pulled off the needle forcefully.
Blood gushed out from the eye of the needle, I wiped it with my sleeve and lifted the quilt.
After lying on the bed for a whole day, he staggered as soon as his feet touched the ground.
I bit the tip of my tongue, resisting the extreme discomfort of dizziness, dizziness and golden flowers.
After falling twice and hitting the corner of the table three times, I finally managed to reach the doorknob.
well.
Slowly unscrewing the door, I leaned on the wall and walked out step by step.
In any case, I can't stay here any longer.I must get out, and I must find a way to get out.
I'm going to find my son, I'm going to get news of my family members whose life or death is unknown.
The ward is on the third floor, and there are two rows of disinfection lamps fixed on both sides of the empty corridor, like the eyes of a beast lurking in the night, with phosphorescence shining.
I don't want to lie here like a piece of crap that can't do anything.
Walking to the entrance of the safe passage leading to the second floor, the bottom was indeed locked, and a large heavy lock was hung on the welded iron door.Even if I don't get sick now and become as powerful as my second brother, it's still impossible to do it.
This was probably the bravest day in my life. The passive feeling of being terminally ill and resigned to fate just disappeared.Something stronger than sickness and an unknown future ruled my being.
At this time, even the breath I exhaled through my nose was hot.
I suddenly remembered that one day after entering the isolation ward, I woke up in a daze in the morning, then reached out to touch the thermometer under the pillow, stuffed it in my mouth and fell asleep for 5 minutes in a daze.When I was half asleep and half awake, I felt that my breathing was not right, and it seemed to be hotter than usual. At that time, my heart skipped a beat, and I felt that my condition must have worsened.
With my eyes closed, I was thinking about the suicide note and the like, wondering if I had paid the insurance, and if I hadn’t paid, I would have to call my parents to pay it for me. I couldn’t die without leaving anything, it’s too bad.As a result, I opened my eyes and saw that the number on the thermometer had dropped a little.
Now it's just the opposite. Although my body is weak, I feel that my body is full of unknown power.
It seems that the chair legs can be snapped off when you go back, and the lock can be smashed with a swing.
I was amused by my sudden courage and absurd ideas, and when I turned around excitedly, I saw a woman staring at me with wide eyes.
"Oh!" I jumped up and down in fright.
The woman was wearing a baggy sweater, holding up her own bottle, and burst out laughing.
"Do you want to go out?" She asked, her voice was weak, but her tone was extremely aggressive. After hearing her say four words, I could hear her aggressiveness.
"I think." I didn't hide it either.
"If I can't get out, I want to go out too." The woman took out a cigarette from her pocket, held it slantly in the corner of her mouth, wrinkled her pale and sickly face, "I can't even sneak out to buy a lighter, alas, I was suffocated to death, I managed to steal a pack of cigarettes, and there was no fire..."
I was dumbfounded.
"Are you angry?" She narrowed her eyes and looked at me.
Before I could shake her head, she sighed herself: "I can tell by looking at you like this."
I:"......"
I was so choked that I almost couldn't breathe. Where did this familiar girl come from? !
"You sneaked out to play too? Which floor do you live in? Which room?" She pointed back.
"306." I said.
"Oh——" she suddenly widened her eyes, and seemed to elongate her voice unexpectedly, and said in surprise, "So it's you?"
The woman walked around me twice with a cigarette in her mouth, and said, "So it's you!"
Under her gaze, I couldn't help taking a step back.Seeing me retreat, she approached step by step, and I was so frightened that I swallowed hard.
"So it's you..." She took another step forward and said it for the third time, forcing me to stick myself against the wall.
"What, what turned out to be me." I was a little flustered, and my body was leaning against the wall, and my posture was like an octopus that just wanted to be embedded in the wall bricks, which was very funny.To be honest, I'm not used to being so close to other people, especially women.
As soon as a woman approaches me, I tend to get nervous. Sometimes I wonder, is it because I am like this that Li Qiu has always disliked me.
"Say!" She put her elbow on my throat and asked ferociously, "What's the relationship between you and my dear Master Wei Heng!"
"Who knows your dear..."
I blurted back, but before I finished speaking, I immediately felt a thunderbolt strike, holding back the black lines all over my head, I asked uncertainly, "...Lord Wei Heng?"
"Yes! My dear Master Wei Heng!" The woman asked relentlessly as if she was the first wife to catch the mistress, "Tell me, tell me, what is the relationship between you two!"
I was speechless: "...classmate relationship."
"Student relationship?" The woman looked suspiciously at me for a while, "How could my dear Master Wei Heng end up being a classmate with someone like you?"
I:"......"
"What classmate?" The woman pressed further.
Why should I tell you!Who are you!I roared in my heart.
"Who are you?" I tried to be calm.
"Me?" The woman raised her eyebrows, withdrew her hand, and put it on her waist, with a particularly hateful smile on the corner of her mouth, "I am the most loyal follower of my dear Master Wei Heng, and by the way, yours." The savior."
I secretly rolled my eyes, this woman looks about the same age as me, how come she still looks like a severe patient of the second disease.
"The lady..." I tried to reason with her, "we're meeting for the first time..."
So can the savior or something be compiled into other more reliable reasons?
"What's wrong with the first meeting?" The woman plausibly spread her hands, "Isn't it because of the first meeting? If I had known it was yours..." She frowned and searched for an adjective with difficulty. "... Cowardly man, I won't bother to save you."
I:"......"
"That's really embarrassing." I gritted my teeth, "But how did you save me?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, people nowadays really don't remember gratitude." The woman looked heartbroken, "If it wasn't for me, would you be able to live in?"
"Aha, it's ridiculous. One is because of Wei Heng's blessing, and the other is because of the Bodhisattva-hearted Mrs. Zheng, deputy mayor. What does she have to do with you..."
Having said that, my voice stopped abruptly.
She pursed her lips and smiled, her big eyes blinked and blinked, as if to say: "Speak, talk, keep talking."
"... Madam Zheng, Deputy Mayor?" I felt anxious.
"uh-huh."
It's not scientific, it's not scientific at all!Originally listening to Wei Heng's words, I automatically imagined a Jiangnan woman with gentle eyebrows and a soft smile. It has nothing to do with the pungent woman in front of me with a cigarette on her hip!Furthermore, that deputy mayor Zheng is at least as old as Wei Heng's father, Mayor Wei, or even older, and it's never been heard that he kicked out his wretched wife and married another bride!
"Are you wondering when Vice Mayor Zheng will get divorced and remarried?" The woman patted my shoulder with a smile, "Young man, don't think about it, I can actually be your mother."
I:"......"
This woman who shouted "Say, what's the relationship between you and my dear Master Wei Heng" is actually in her early fifties?
I rubbed my forehead, which was getting more and more dizzy, and told myself, I must have burned my head, it must be.
Mrs. Zheng was even happier seeing me like this, she shook her cigarette with a smile, and said, "However, if you want to sneak out, today is a good time."
I looked at her, and she blinked: "The doctors have all gone to the front to help! Here, there are only less than three or four nurses and doctors left."
I was overjoyed: "I wonder if you have a way to open this door?"
Mrs. Zheng just opened her mouth to say something, but at this moment, a soft call came from the silent night: "Dad, Dad, Dad..."
