Mosquito Head Village, 4:53 in the morning.
The sky is still dark, there is no moon, the sky is full of dark clouds at some point in time, the night is like thick ink, and there is not a single star to be found.
In the small village at night, it was as quiet as a deep sleep, only the sound of various insects and a slight wind could be heard. The morning light has not yet arrived, and it is the darkest time before dawn.
The little nurse Zhang Ying tremblingly locked the small window and walked back to the inner room from the pharmacy outside. A simple shadowless lamp was lit inside. Bandages and blood-stained gauze were scattered all over the ground, and the smell of blood and disinfectant was everywhere.
On the hospital bed in the back room, there was a man covered in blood and with a gloomy face. One of his hands was mutilated and his little finger was missing. The other hand held a knife tightly, holding the hostage in front of him. Glancing at this person, Zhang Ying hurriedly lowered her head and pulled her clothes in fear.
Zhang Ying hoped that people outside would see the words she left on the medicine box. When the time was running out, she imitated the TV series she had seen and wrote a few simple English letters.
Just an hour ago, Xue Jingming, covered in blood, suddenly broke into this township health center.
After the outlaw fell from the mountain, he was lucky enough to be hung on a tree, and only came out of the mountain after the searchers had withdrawn. He was injured, and the desire to survive made him take a risk and came to the village health center. At night, people in the village often come to see a doctor for emergencies. A female doctor kindly came to open the door, but Xue Jingming put a knife on her neck.
There are a total of three staff on duty here at night. Dr. Li and Dr. Duan are a husband and wife. They are doctors of the county hospital.
This hospital is not big. They receive patients during the day and live here at night. Besides them, there is a little nurse named Zhang Ying. Zhang Ying, who is in her early twenties this year, is also a member of this village. She graduated from a medical school and helps them receive patients and take care of their affairs on a daily basis.
As soon as Xue Jingming entered the door, he threatened Dr. Li, stabbed her in the leg, and forced two other people to help him bandage the wound and take out the bullet from his shoulder.
Xue Jingming knew these people, and he usually saw them in the village, but at this time, only killing was in his eyes.
Xue Jingming didn't like this hospital. It was actually some bad memory here. The first time he was here, he saw his father's body. The second time, he was injured by a chainsaw on his finger, and the workers sent him to the hospital. Here, he was shaking with pain. The third time, my mother died here.
Xue Jingming lowered his head and looked at the wound on his left hand. The little finger of his left hand was completely broken. Now the wound is no longer painful, but the hideous wound still reminds him that he is an out-and-out cripple.
Xue Jingming was also caught in the rain. The wet clothes on his body had been worn for a long time, and now they were covered to dry. The bullet shot by Song Wen was blocked by the bushes and injured him, but it did not penetrate deep into the flesh and did not hurt the bones. Not life-threatening.
Just after a simple operation was done here, there was a knock on the door outside.
Xue Jingming still put the knife in his hand on Dr. Li's neck, so Zhang Ying went to open the window to deal with it.
During the whole process, Zhang Ying's legs were soft, but she took into account the lives of Dr. Li and Dr. Duan, and did not dare to ask for help. At this time, she dealt with Song Wen and locked the door before coming back and said tremblingly: " Uncle, I did as you said and sent the man away..."
"Is there a policeman outside?" Although Xue Jingming's wound was anesthetized, it was still a little hot. Not only was he shot, but he also had multiple bruises on his body, which made him look even more sinister, "Just now you What did you write?"
"It's just a dose. You've also come here to get the medicine. If you don't write that, the other party will become suspicious." When Zhang Ying was answering outside just now, Xue Jingming was staring at it all the time, and because of this, Zhang Ying dare not do more.
Xue Jingming recalled that in such a short period of time, Zhang Ying also took the strokes and drew it twice. It should be just a simple number or something. He nodded, but his eyes were still staring at Zhang Ying, not knowing where he was. Think about something.
Zhang Ying was afraid that he was still suspicious, and explained in a trembling voice: "The one just now should not be the police, that person is not here to search, but to buy medicine, maybe it is a tourist in the city, I, I don't know that person, I'm very polite. Born, he didn't find you, really."
Zhang Ying looked at Xue Jingming, the village was too small, and Xue Jingming's murder quickly spread. At dinner tonight, she already knew what maddening things this man had done. At this time, the man in front of him had already lost a trace of reason, as if he was crazy.
"They've already gone, and we've healed your injuries. My wife is bleeding too much now. If you don't let me bandage her, she will die later." Doctor Duan looked at the situation and opened his mouth.
In the hour just now, he had been trying to distract Xue Jingming, and he had also thought about how to save Dr. Li, but the knife in Xue Jingming's hand was always beside Dr. Li's neck, and he even sewed It's the same with needles. Dr. Duan usually saves lives and heals wounds, and has never seen such a battle.
"Please, please, for the sake of saving you just now... I have children and elderly people at home..." Dr. Li also trembled. Now, as time goes by, her face is getting paler. The blood from his legs had stained the sheets, and the corners of his eyes were full of tears. She didn't expect that her temporary kindness was put in a bad wolf, and now she is full of regrets.
Xue Jingming snorted, looked at Dr. Li, then looked at Dr. Duan, hesitated for a moment, and then stood up. Doctor Duan hurriedly helped his wife up and bandaged the wound on her leg.
Looking at the couple, Xue Jingming took the knife and took a few steps back and pulled away. Ying, said to her: "Go and get me some anti-inflammatory drugs."
Zhang Ying snorted, went to the pharmacy outside, and took the medicine from the shelf. When she turned around, she saw Xue Jingming followed her silently here.
Zhang Ying was taken aback. Seeing the fierceness in Xue Jingming's eyes, she had a bad premonition in her heart. She couldn't help but take a step back, "You... What are you doing... We saved you just now... "
Xue Jingming gritted his teeth and took a step forward: "I thank you for saving me, but maybe it was the police who were exploring the way just now. If you keep you here, maybe my whereabouts will be exposed."
Just now Xue Jingming was hesitating whether he wanted to kill Dr. Li with one knife, but Dr. Duan was that woman's husband after all. If he killed Dr. Li, her husband would definitely fight with him. Now that he is seriously injured, he may not be able to fight against Doctor Duan and Zhang Ying.
So Xue Jingming asked Doctor Duan to bandage his wife, pretending to let them go, but in fact, after he killed Zhang Ying, the two doctors would be able to solve it. Dr. Li's leg was injured. Dr. Duan took care of his wife and couldn't run. The two would restrain each other. At that time, he had better control over the hostages.
That's why Xue Jingming deliberately led Zhang Ying to the small room where the medicine was stored, and wanted to kill her.
Seeing his hideous expression, Zhang Ying stepped back and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle, let us go, everyone is from the village, why can't we get rid of hatred? We won't tell others, see you tonight. past you."
This is an obvious self-deception lie. If such a big incident happened in the health center, Xue Jingming will be found sooner or later. Zhang Ying's words were originally a plea for mercy, but they aroused hatred in Xue Jingming's heart again. Said: "I already have a few lives on my body now, and I won't be afraid of a few more!"
Having said that, he waved his knife towards Zhang Ying, and the blade in his hand slashed forward. He is now at the end of the road, and if he wants to escape safely, he must kill the person in front of him.
"Help!" Zhang Ying screamed and hurriedly ducked.
Doctor Duan had been bandaging his wife just now, and he didn't pay attention to the situation in the pharmacy. He turned around when he heard the call for help, but it was too late to save him.
At this moment, there was a sound from the window behind Xue Jingming, a bullet shattered the glass, and then rubbed his skull, leaving a bloody opening on the side of Xue Jingming's forehead.
Song Wen just discovered the words on the medicine box and hurriedly notified Zhang Dahai. Then he went around the back of the house to see what was going on inside. As soon as he came to the back window, he saw Xue Jingming slashing at Zhang Ying with his knife.
In desperation, Song Wen fired a shot, and the crisp gunshot cut through the night sky and broke the tranquility of the small mountain village.
While Xue Jingming was stunned, Song Wen stretched out his hand from the broken glass to open the window, then turned over abruptly and got into a fight with Xue Jingming who was holding a knife. At this time, the distance was shortened, and there were hostages next to him. , Song Wen did not dare to shoot again.
Xue Jingming had a knife in his hand. Although he was injured, the anesthesia and the injected medicine stimulated him, so that he could hardly feel any pain. At this time, he seemed to be ferocious, and rushed over desperately.
Song Wen flashed the cold light from the stabbing sideways, and the knife was slashed on the iron shelf next to him, making a harsh rubbing sound. Song Wen turned around and hit Xue Jingming's chest hard with his elbow. Xue Jingming received a heavy blow, but took the opportunity to grab Song Wen's clothes with four fingers, and the knife in his hand slashed towards Song Wen's waist.
Song Wen shrank back, dodging the blade, and the sharp knife passed by his waist. Song Wen didn't care to stop, and put his foot on Xue Jingming's leg, which happened to be a wound. Xue Jingming groaned in pain, but he was a desperado, and his moves were extremely cruel. No matter how badly he was injured, he only knew how to attack frantically and slash at Song Wen.
Seeing that Song Wen was pushed into the corner, the knife in Xue Jingming's hand stabbed with all his strength, and when the cold light appeared, Song Wen could only use his arm to block the knife.
After the two were in the wrong place, Xue Jingming wanted to stab again. Song Wen took a metal tray with medicine from the table next to him and smashed the tray directly on Xue Jingming's head. After the bang, Xue Jingming only felt that his eyes were pierced with gold stars, and he almost fell. The gunshot wound on his face was torn, and half of his face was covered in blood.
Xue Jingming staggered and grabbed Zhang Ying who was shrunk in the corner by stepping back.
Zhang Ying was so frightened that she was helpless and sobbing helplessly as the knife rested on her neck.
This kind of change also made Song Wen dare not act rashly. Xue Jingming withdrew while holding Zhang Ying, and when he reached the door of the pharmacy, he stretched out his bloody hand and turned off the light.
The entire pharmacy suddenly fell into darkness, only the shadowless lamp in the room was shining brightly. Song Wen was about to chase, but Xue Jingming suddenly pushed Zhang Ying towards him. Zhang Ying's legs and feet were already weak, and one of them couldn't stand firm, so she rushed forward. Song Wen was afraid of hurting the hostage, so she supported her and then got up.
In just a few seconds of time difference, Xue Jingming had already opened the door outside and ran out.
"Stop!" Song Wen shouted, pushed Zhang Ying away, and hurriedly chased out. Then he saw that Xue Jingming didn't run far before he was blocked by a shadow. That person was the one who was supposed to be there. Lu Siyu in the car...
