The old Taoist didn't say anything. He got up from the bed, helped the man out of bed, and went to the bathroom.
It's like a drill instructor who needs to teach his new recruits again a series of actions such as how to pick up and put away the gun.
The masked youth was sitting there.
Just like when I thanked the family of three before,
No reaction.
No thank you, no offer of help, not even a glance at you.
After a while, they returned from target practice.
The old Taoist helped the man back to bed, and then went back to the bathroom to wash his hands.
The man on the hospital bed's face became even redder. To use an analogy that elementary school students love most, it was as red as a little girl's face or a red apple.
After the old Taoist came out, he walked to the windowsill while shaking the water droplets on his hands and subconsciously touched his pocket.
There are cigarettes in my pocket.
But this is a ward.
Before, when it was just him and his boss in the ward, the old Taoist would sneak through the window at night to take a few puffs to satisfy his craving, but his boss wouldn't care about it anyway.
Now that there are outsiders here, it would be inappropriate, although it seems that he is not the kind of person who likes to talk to outsiders.
But how does the saying go? The quieter the person, the more likely he is to explode...
Outside the ward building, there are houses. This hospital does not provide wards with sea view.
In the ward,
Apart from that little pee incident,
Just peace.
It's time for dinner.
If you have WeChat, you can directly contact the hospital cafeteria to send meals over.
The old Taoist ordered a lot, as he always has a good appetite.
Zhou Ze's situation was much simpler. He originally planned to order a set meal as usual, but then he thought better of it and just ordered a bowl of instant noodles.
After the instant noodles are soaked, pour all the leftover vinegar from lunch into them before eating.
This bucket of noodles tasted so sour and refreshing that the whole house was filled with the smell of vinegar.
The doctor who came to check on the ward in the evening thought that the ward had just been disinfected with vinegar.
Recheck, change the dressing,
After the process was completed, the doctors and nurses left.
By now, the sky had darkened.
Since you are in the hospital, don't think about your nightlife anymore.
The old Taoist priest was able to watch the old Shaw Brothers martial arts films being shown on CCTV-6 with great interest.
Hehe haha, puff puff, dong, the rhythm is very strong.
Zhou Ze was casually browsing on his phone.
When it was late at night,
The Taoist priest turned off the TV and went to sleep.
Zhou Ze put away his phone and closed his eyes. He couldn't fall asleep, but he had to relax his eyes.
At this time,
Zhou Ze heard the sound from the bed opposite.
He opened his eyes.
I saw the man on the bed getting out of bed.
He walked with difficulty, dragging his lame leg and holding onto the wall.
The masked young man walked in front of him and left the ward first. The man seemed to look back at the snoring old Taoist priest, struggled to walk over, put some nutritional supplements brought by the family of three in the afternoon under the old Taoist priest's bed, and then walked out.
The leg was still oozing blood as it walked.
From beginning to end, Zhou Ze didn't say a word.
At two o'clock in the morning,
Zhou Ze sat up on the bed.
He looked at the empty bed again.
There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Perhaps out of professional habit, Zhou Ze instinctively began to doubt the identities of the two people.
Of course, it is impossible to really think too highly of them.
Is he a fugitive
Or some other identity
It's a pity that I have become an ordinary person now.
There is no way to clearly perceive whether the other person is really an "ordinary person".
“Mee-mee-mee…”
The old Taoist smacked his lips and slept soundly.
Zhou Ze shook his head helplessly and closed his eyes again.
I finally made it to dawn, yes, I finally made it to dawn.
It is really a torture to be unable to sleep but have to lie in bed.
"Hey, are they human?"
After getting up, the old Taoist started asking where his new recruits were. He even woke up a little earlier on purpose so that he could take the new recruits to do morning exercises.
"I was discharged from the hospital last night."
Zhou Ze was in a bad mood and seemed a little depressed.
He didn't want to stay up late tonight, so if he really had no choice, he would go to the morgue of this hospital to rest.
When the doctors and nurses who were doing the ward rounds in the morning came, they were filled with disbelief when they saw that the bed was empty.
"Where is the patient?"
The old Taoist shook his head.
Zhou Ze did not respond.
"The patient is missing!"
The doctors and nurses went to look for him separately.
In fact, just like eating and free dining in a restaurant, similar things often happen in hospitals.
For example, some people slack off and fail to pay hospital bills. Or even worse, when their parents fall ill and they send them to their parents, their children disappear collectively.
But the man in the next bed was not in this situation, and all his medical expenses were waived.
After that, there was no follow-up, and I didn’t know whether the hospital had found it.
After fishing for the whole morning, when it was time for dinner, Zhou Ze felt jealous again.
After dinner,
Boss Zhou got out of bed.
Better than when I woke up yesterday.
After getting familiar with my current physical condition, I was able to walk by holding on to the wall.
"Boss, where are you going?"
The old Taoist didn't have any serious injuries, so he quickly got out of bed upon seeing this.
"Help me go to the morgue."
"Um... OK."
With the help of the old Taoist priest, Zhou Ze walked out of the ward and took the elevator.
Generally speaking, hospitals will mark the locations of various departments at corners where people gather to make it easier for everyone to find them.
But the location of the morgue is basically not marked. Everyone comes to see a doctor, and no one thinks of caring about the accommodation conditions for the night as soon as they enter the hospital.
When you come out of the elevator, you are on the first floor. You don’t have permission to go down to the underground floor, so you can only take the stairs.
Just at this time,
A group of doctors and nurses rushed over and gathered in the hall.
"Boss, what happened?"
"It's a major emergency."
If an accident occurs somewhere or there is a critical illness or serious injury, the hospital will be prepared to receive the patient while the ambulance is on the way.
With such a big scene, there should be a lot of casualties.
Ambulances arrived one after another.
Doctors and nurses pushed the injured into the emergency room one by one.
Zhou Ze glanced at the stretcher passing by him and thought it was probably a burn.
Burns are a very difficult condition. The initial rescue and treatment is a hurdle, and the intensive care in the later stage is also a hurdle.
As for transplanting skin from your thighs or buttocks to your face, it's not a big deal.
"Boss, are we still going down?"
"Forget it, just know that it's down there. I'll come down by myself at night."
There are a lot of people in the hospital right now, and the morgue might be used later. Even if Boss Zhou wanted to take a nap, he was worried that his rest would be disturbed.
I am just an ordinary person now. If someone accidentally finds me sleeping in the morgue, it will be very troublesome to deal with the follow-up.
"Okay, boss, I'll take you to Taiping in the evening..."
The old Taoist's mouth twitched, he always felt that there was something strange about what he said.
Just then, Zhou Ze heard a familiar voice.
He limped to the door of the building, as if he wanted to follow a stretcher, but after a few steps, he fell to the ground. He began to crawl on the ground with his hands, determined to catch up with the stretcher, but he couldn't catch up at all.
Many people saw this scene. Since he was also injured, a nurse immediately came forward to support him.
Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment. Isn't this the man who was discharged from the hospital last night
A ferocious look appeared on the man's face, as if he was restraining something, but he finally lowered his head.
"Boss, it's them."
The old Taoist said.
"Um."
Zhou Ze nodded.
"Is he back again?"
"Maybe."
For some reason, an inexplicable warning suddenly appeared in Zhou Ze's heart.
Boss Zhou didn't know where this warning sign came from, but his heart seemed to skip a beat at this moment, just like a person who had a nonsensical nightmare last night and felt a strong sense of panic after waking up.
"Go back."
Zhou Ze didn't want to stay here anymore.
"Oh, okay, boss."
I took the elevator back to the ward.
The old Taoist helped Zhou Ze lie down on the bed.
Zhou Ze pursed his lips; his hospital gown was already half wet.
"Boss, are you feeling unwell?"
Although he didn't know why his boss was injured, the old Taoist still instinctively cared about his boss's current situation.
"It's okay. It's okay."
Zhou Ze licked his lips.
It is hard for you to imagine what kind of impact the sudden sixth sense will have on you.
But this is like an artist's sudden burst of inspiration.
It is impossible to investigate.
There is no way to predict what will emerge.
It's hard to imagine.
Last night, I was able to calmly watch them being discharged from the hospital early.
Today, I am...
Thinking of that dream and the words of the last generation in the dream,
Zhou Ze's mind suddenly became clear.
That man,
The young man in the mask,
Even if there is only a one in a thousand chance,
We must never take it lightly.
Perhaps, this is just a game, and everyone has become a mortal.
One is looking, the other is hiding.
It all depends on who plays better in the end.
After the Taoist priest confirmed that his boss was fine,
I turned on the TV.
The local news was playing on TV.
The picture shows a restaurant that suddenly caught fire due to a gas explosion.
The news report should have quoted a video shot by a nearby person using a cell phone.
In the video,
When the hotel caught fire,
A young man wearing a mask rushed into the fire scene from the roadside.
Then he rushed out with his body on fire and rescued an older man.
Next,
The young man rushed into the burning hotel again to continue rescuing people.
In the corner of the video, the figure of his lame recruit flashed by.
"Boss, you're a good man. Although you don't talk much, when you do something righteous, you really...really..."
I don’t even know how to describe them.
And Zhou Ze,
After seeing the images on TV,
My heart calmed down.
Are they saving people
Maybe…
But more likely,
They were looking for us two.
