In the morning, the sun finally came out, and it was a sunny and windy scene, which was completely different from the windy, rainy and tornado-ridden scene of yesterday.
Dr. Lin narrowed her eyes, and she finally woke up from her coma last night.
When she woke up, she found her face a little dry, as if something was stuck to it, even to her eyes. She reached out and gently wiped her face, opened her eyes, and saw white marks on the palms of her hands.
When I pulled down the front mirror of the car, I saw that my face was covered with white stains with a strong smell.
Although Dr. Lin is inexperienced, she is a doctor after all. Moreover, information is very developed in this era. It is no longer the ancient times when mothers would show their daughters erotic pictures and teach them skills before they get married.
These marks on my face,
It looks like... semen stains.
Dr. Lin opened the car door subconsciously, feeling a little flustered. The strange scene last night still made her feel a little scared. Then, she saw Zhou Ze sitting on the ground leaning against the car door, covered in blood.
Zhou Ze looked really miserable at this moment. It seemed like there was not a single piece of healthy skin on his body. He was like a prisoner who had just been tortured and thrown out to fend for himself.
"Aze, Aze!"
Doctor Lin immediately squatted down and called Zhou Ze's name, for she was afraid that something might happen to Zhou Ze.
This time, the coma lasted much shorter than before, as if his body had slowly gotten used to it. It might also be because he had swallowed the souls of several ghost messengers, and some parts of his body had been nourished and strengthened.
In short, after being unconscious for half the night, Zhou Ze actually opened his eyes when Dr. Lin called him.
What caught his eyes was Dr. Lin's face at this moment. Zhou Ze was so frightened that he took a breath and complained with difficulty:
"You're still applying a facial mask so early in the morning."
Doctor Lin was both angry and amused, but he couldn't hit or scold Zhou Ze at the moment, so he could only take out a wet wipe from the car and wipe his face.
When wiping it, she also carefully identified it and it didn't seem to be a semen stain.
"I'll call the emergency number for you." Dr. Lin said.
"Don't… … "
Zhou Ze shook his head weakly.
"Call my bookstore... and ask the Taoist priest to bring... his monkey here."
Doctor Lin hesitated for a moment, suppressed his professional instinct to call 120, chose to follow Zhou Ze's instructions, and used Zhou Ze's mobile phone to call the bookstore.
It happened to be an old Taoist who answered the phone, and he immediately realized that it must be his boss who was acting unparalleled again.
He was very clear and said that he would come here right away with Monkey Smash.
"Where are we going now?" Dr. Lin asked Zhou Ze.
"Let's just find a place to settle down first." Zhou Ze said, "Help me get in the car, you drive, and find a small hotel. Oh, by the way, look in the bushes over there to see if there is anything like a driver's license. Pick it up for me and take it with me."
Upon hearing this, Dr. Lin immediately went to look for it in the bushes in front. It was actually quite easy to find. The bushes in two places had obvious oil stains, as if someone had poured lard on them late at night.
Of course, it was impossible for Dr. Lin to directly tell that this was actually corpse oil.
"Is this it?"
Doctor Lin found two small notebooks and handed them to Zhou Ze.
Both ghost messenger certificates have turned yellow, but they are not broken, which means they can still be used.
"This is it."
Zhou Ze signaled to Dr. Lin to put the two things away, and then with her help, he got into the car.
There were almost no large intact parts of his body, but fortunately Zhou Ze was familiar with the experience, and with Doctor Lin sitting next to him, he did not scream in pain.
However, because they had just experienced a tornado, many residents whose houses had problems or collapsed chose to stay in hotels temporarily. Therefore, from this village to the small county town, all hotels, regardless of size, were basically full.
Dr. Lin drove the car to the end of the county town, got off the car and went to the small hotel to continue questioning.
Zhou Ze slumped in the passenger seat.
Through the car window,
Look up at the sky.
At this time, an old man carrying a basket of vegetables walked past the car door.
The old man was really old, with a head full of white hair, a goatee, and a hunched body, but he still looked strong when he walked.
The most important thing is that when the old man walked past Zhou Ze, Zhou Ze clearly felt as if he was stabbed when he looked at him.
The old man stopped and looked at Zhou Ze in the car. He was a little surprised. He reached out and knocked on the glass and asked:
"Young man, have you been affected by the disaster?"
You mean you were injured in a tornado
Zhou Ze nodded.
"Why don't you go to the hospital?" the old man asked curiously.
"poverty."
“… … ”Old man.
After hesitating for a moment, the old man reached in and checked Zhou Ze's injuries, saying, "The skin injuries are really evenly distributed all over the body."
"Um."
At this time, Dr. Lin came back. She glanced at the old man standing by the car window and said to Zhou Ze:
“Still no room.”
"Where can we find a room now?" The old man shook his head and said, "Forget it, just stay at my house. My house has a big yard."
Dr. Lin looked at Zhou Ze and asked for his opinion.
Zhou Ze nodded. Actually, he didn't know why the old man suddenly wanted to help him. You know, these days, if you don't have tens of millions of dollars in assets, you really don't dare to help others on the street.
The old man’s house was indeed very big, and was designed in a style similar to a courtyard house. When Zhou Ze got off the car, the old man helped Dr. Lin to support Zhou Ze into a room.
He is quite strong.
After lying down in the room, the old man said he would get some Chinese medicine for Zhou Ze and then left.
Dr. Lin sat next to Zhou Ze. She couldn't believe that she could meet such a kind-hearted person on the street and he would take them back to his home.
"There are still many good people in this world," Dr. Lin sighed.
Zhou Ze was looking at the photo frame hanging on the wall next to the bed, which contained many medals and certificates, as well as some group photos. If nothing unexpected happened, the old man should have been a soldier.
"Are you hungry?" asked Dr. Lin.
"Not bad." Zhou Ze shook his head.
"Girl, can you cook?"
The old man came in with ointment in his hand.
"Yes." Dr. Lin replied.
"Then go and cook. I'll put some plaster on him. It's very effective in treating external injuries."
Doctor Lin glanced at Zhou Ze again. Obviously, she was still a little worried about Zhou Ze staying in the room alone.
Zhou Ze nodded to her and motioned for her to go.
The old man sat down beside Zhou Ze's bed, patted the bed sheet with his hand, and said, "You have no shame, no rules, right?"
Zhou Ze shook his head.
"Then take off your clothes. Never mind. I'll help you."
The old man reached out and helped Zhou Ze take off his shirt. Looking at the numerous injuries on Zhou Ze's body, he smacked his lips and said:
"Tsk tsk, it was rare to see injuries like yours on the battlefield."
"Have you ever been a soldier, old man?" Zhou Ze asked.
"I did. When we fought the Japanese, I was still young and only knew how to hold a red tasseled spear. When we fought Chiang Kai-shek, I joined the army. I also went to Korea and southern Tibet.
Luckily, I didn’t die, and I wasn’t seriously injured.”
"The more blessed you are, the better your fate."
"The King of Hell won't take me in. There's nothing I can do. Look, I still have to collect so much allowance every month, and I can't make any contribution to the country. It would be better for the King of Hell to send a ghost messenger to take me away."
“… …” Zhou Ze.
"Okay, it's done. You look weak and frail, but you feel really strong to the touch. You have a good foundation, right? Are you a martial artist?"
"I guess so." Zhou Ze said perfunctorily.
"Do you know why I brought you into my house?" asked the old man.
Zhou Ze shook his head.
"I like you."
“That’s a good reason.”
"When I'm this old, I can do whatever I want and don't want to worry about so many things."
Dr. Lin prepared dinner, but Zhou Ze didn't eat much.
After dinner, the old man invited Zhou Ze to play chess with him, while Dr. Lin went to the old man’s collection room in the inner room to look at antiques.
Zhou Ze was lying on the bed, facing the chessboard. The old man made a move, Zhou Ze said a move, and the old man helped Zhou Ze make a move.
Zhou Ze's chess skills were not very good. The old man deliberately let a rook pass and it didn't move, but he was able to kill him back and forth.
It was raining and it got dark. Zhou Ze received a call. It was Bai Yingying.
It is said that the Taoist priest met a traffic policeman on his way here. Because he was driving without a license, both the car and the person were detained. The monkey had no choice but to hide in the nearby bushes. He did not dare to let the police see it, otherwise the Taoist priest would be charged with the crime of privately raising a national protected animal, which would make his crime even more serious.
This caught Zhou Ze off guard. He had thought that the Taoist priest would bring the monkey over earlier so that he could treat it better. However, he did not expect that the Taoist priest himself had an accident. It turned out that not only did he not have a driver's license, but the Taoist priest had been driving without a license all along.
"What's wrong?" the old man asked after Zhou Ze hung up the phone.
"My friend who was coming to pick me up had an accident on the way and may not be able to come tonight."
"If you can't come, just stay here. I like you."
“… …” Zhou Ze.
After playing chess, the old man yawned and seemed to be going to sleep. He waved to Zhou Ze, put away the chessboard, and said he was going back to his room to sleep.
After the old man walked out, Dr. Lin walked in.
However, her expression was somewhat serious.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Ze asked.
"Aze, this old man is a little strange."
"What's so strange about that? Didn't you say before that he is a very nice person?" Zhou Ze asked.
"Anyway, I'm a little uncomfortable with this. Also, this courtyard is a little weird."
"It's okay, I'm here." Zhou Ze comforted.
Doctor Lin nodded, feeling a little relieved.
Who knew that Zhou Ze didn't finish his words and continued:
"I'm here. You know my current situation. If anything happens, remember to carry me on your back and run with me. Don't leave me behind."
“… … ”Doctor Lin.
"I'll get some hot water to help you clean yourself."
Doctor Lin got up and walked out. When she came out of the kitchen with hot water, she happened to see that the light seemed to be on in the room next to where Zhou Ze was. That was the old man's room.
When she got closer, she heard the sounds of drinking and playing finger-guessing games inside, as well as the old man's voice, and the whole place was noisy.
"Little Li, do you have guests at home today?"
"Yes, a girl and a boy."
"That girl is really pretty, like the eldest daughter of a landlord."
"You also secretly watched her?"
"Look, there's a lot of meat. What's wrong?"
"That guy is better looking." a voice suddenly said.
"You kid, I've felt something was wrong with you for a long time. It turns out you really don't like women, you just like that."
"Like, I don't dare to like it, it depends on whether he likes us or not."
"What do you mean?"
"If he doesn't like it, we won't be able to drink wine, eat meat, or live like this anymore."
