Lin Feng was still sleeping in bed when he got the call, dazed. “Who is it? Oh, you, what can I do for you, Du-Shen 1 God. Basically, it’s a title they use for a God of learning or an academic bully. Normally used when the person excels far and above everyone else in school ? You’ve been out of touch for three days, and you finally thought of coming back to earth?” He sat up slowly and asked, “Why are you using this number? I’m too lazy to turn on do not disturb. Fuck! Otherwise, would you still be able to disturb people’s dreams?’ Suddenly, he couldn’t sit still. He nearly exploded on the phone. “You what? You broke your leg? Fuck! Where the hell is it! Damn!”
He rolled over and sat up, running outside barefoot, holding up the phone before running back, “Oh, oh, ID, wallet. I don’t have an Alipay wallet line. I actually don’t have much money on Alipay. Otherwise, should I swipe your line?”
Lin Feng put on his socks and took his ID card. According to the instructions on the phone, he quietly slipped out of the house, followed the wall and slipped out of the side gate of the community. He couldn’t take a Didi 2 Their version of uber , so he stopped a taxi and went straight to the hospital. He threw down the cash, closed the door, and ran straight there.
The hospital was, frankly, a clinic. It was located on the remote outskirts of the suburbs, surrounded by construction sites under development. It was full of potholes that could almost make people vomit. The hospital was also an old institution area with a nineties concrete style. It was so rundown that he, a local person, was wondering. In the year 2021, in the deep city, is there still a shitty place like this?
What the hell is going on? He didn’t go to an upper level hospital, but he came to this pheasant 3 Pheasant as in no good, rundown, junk place, etc. clinic? It was like being a thief. Inexplicably, Lin Feng entered in a daze and went to the inpatient ward. When he finally saw Chen Du, he almost passed out.
“This… What the fuck? What the hell is going on?” He was fixed in place with a shocked look on his face, looking up at Chen Du’s leg hanging in mid-air oozing blood; obviously, what he was witnessing was beyond his imagination.
And what Chen Du said next was even more beyond the realm of his perception.
Lin Feng forgot what his reaction was later that day. The entire thing was like straight up having dementia, like watching a movie. He just remembered that Chen Du shattered the glass upstairs in his house and jumped down from his bedroom floor. He directly fractured his leg, dragging the broken leg over the yard wall to the hospital to let the doctor call him. He was strong enough to stay awake, waiting for him to arrive before he was willing to close his eyes.
Lin Feng was so frightened by the sight of blood that he almost lost his life. Chen Du’s face was deathly pale, but contrary to what anyone might expect, he was calm. “Do not tell anyone that I am here. Help me buy a mobile phone with the card in my wallet. The code is 030904.”
He shuddered and took out his wallet. When he opened it, he saw Chen Jiashu’s picture, and his brain was a bit confused. Come to think of it, isn’t this code Chen Jiashu’s birthday?
The doctor was just finishing changing Chen Du’s medication when he returned after buying the phone, and the ward was filled with the pungent smell of medicine. The doctor, with white hair, packed up the medication and rambled on about this rebellious and uneducated young man. “Hmph! I’ve seen a lot of you guys like this. You little brats like to show off and land yourselves in the hospital, don’t you? You like to fool around because you’re young and fit, but you’ll know what to expect when you’re old.”
“Wait a minute, you look familiar; aren’t you that Chen Du from the secondary school?”
Chen Du’s eyes were closed, his pale lips were pursed, and he looked like he was asleep. Lin Feng hurried over and said, “Yes, you think he looks like Chen Du too, right? Our neighbours in the alley say so too. With such a good face, he might be able to get a college education!”
The doctor gave them an odd look and didn’t say anything. He collected his things and went out.
The clinic did not need to show ID to register. The pheasant place had pheasant facilities, but the doctor’s skills are not bad. He was bandaged in a decent manner, the broken bones were connected, and Chen Du was in the hospital unconscious for half a day. In the evening, he slowly woke up. His hand came from under the quilt. His wound was numb, and his voice was hoarse. “Phone.”
Lin Feng nervously handed over the phone. He took the phone, went to the bed to get the wallet, and opened it to slide out the photo in his hand. He held it in his hands and repeatedly pressed it with his fingers. The blood oozing from the wound pressed on the face of the person in the photo.
Lin Feng’s eyelids jumped. He always felt that something was wrong; everything he witnessed from before to now was beyond his common sense and imagination. he wanted to ask something but seemed unable to do so.
Chen Du fell hard this time. First, he jumped off the second floor of the house, and then he climbed over the wall, dragging himself all the way to the clinic. According to the doctor’s words, he was only fooling around because his body was in great health; otherwise, he would have been in trouble if he were a normal person.
The doctor prescribed a bunch of medicines, and the bill was long. Lin Feng took Chen Du’s card and went to check the balance before paying for it. He was dumbfounded. He didn’t expect Chen Du to be this rich. Damn! With this balance set aside, the average person can’t even struggle for a fraction of it, right?
Before he could get a proper explanation of this series of events from this invisible local tyrant 4 A very rich person , Chen Du disappeared.
After two days in the hospital, he woke up early in the morning, and his bed was empty. The person, the cards, the wallet, and all the messy medicines were gone. The doctor was so angry that he blew his beard, slapping the hospital bed and shouting, “This is nonsense! The bones are still broken!”
Immediately after, another group of people dressed in black rushed in, and Wen Yun stepped into the dilapidated building well-dressed. The sound of sharp heels seemed to break the hollow wood of the stairs. She kicked open the door of the ward, sweeping her gaze past the baffled doctor and the dumbfounded Lin Feng, but Chen Du was missing. The bed was empty, and the slats of wood branched out like the glass window he had broken.
The air poured in, the cold wind whipping like a knife against his face. Chen Du opened his tired eyes, his deep eyelids dipping into the night, his eyes dark and bright.
Beijing was a little colder than he had expected, and he got out of the taxi wearing short sleeves. His left leg had not yet fully recovered, so he walked slower than normal, and on top of that, he slowed down a little so that his leg would look less obvious.
He had escaped within minutes of them coming. The only things he had left were a mobile phone and a wallet, but the good news was that he was not familiar with the area and could comfortably find a reliable hospital
5 Meaning that no one knows him where he is currently, so his mother’s reach can’t extend to him[/mn]. The steel plate had not been removed and the wound was slightly inflamed. It was time to change the dressing
But before that, he had to buy some food to fill his stomach.
Chen Du had come by train; his injuries had prevented him from flying. The train was slow and the journey was long. He had not eaten for almost two days and nights; he was hungry like never before but also free like never before.
The train whistle left everything behind. The lake and mountains along the road from south to north were dull and boring, but he was full of urgency and expectation. Why couldn’t the wheels that steam through the seasons turn faster? Why did the last hundred kilometres become extraordinarily long and difficult? He was unable to eat anything, his body resting, his consciousness suspended by hunger and wakefulness, hanging on for dear life, convinced that this pain was so great that expectations would happily slippery slope.
He was still seriously ill and was covered in ailments 5 Extreme bruising from the fall, starvation, dehydration, and lack of sleep
. He pushed open the door of a noodle shop and the light from the shop’s tungsten lamps struck him, warm and calling out. The halo of light in his eyes put him in a trance, looking at anyone as if he were alone.
He squinted, as if a little uncomfortable with the abruptness of stepping out of the darkness into the light. “Sliced beef, small bowl.” Pulling out a chair and sitting down, he pulled out a paper towel and wiped the oil on the table, before turning back to add, “No spice, no coriander-“
When he turned around, he saw a person.
It happened so coincidentally. It was like a miracle that Chen Jiashu was standing behind the table two chairs away from him, ponytailed, and wearing a uniform. Her face was as fair as jade, her snow-covered hands caged in the light, holding a rag, and her head bowed as she earnestly wiped the table.
As if in a dream, Chen Du propped himself up on the table and tried to sit up, but he tripped over the foot of the chair and failed to stand up, knocking over the spice bottle on the table and causing a clanging sound. Everyone in the shop looked in his direction as he walked over. Chen Jiashu raised her head when she heard the movement.
When she saw him, she dropped the rag in her hand to the floor. The black rag stained the surface of her white shoe.
“Chen Jiashu?” Chen Du’s eyes turned red as soon as her name was called out, his lips twitching. His heart was raging and tumbling, unable to speak a single word after saving so many words for so long.
