Putting the knife away, I wished I could keep Xu Chu shrunken and protect him, and not let him go anywhere with sharp objects.
What Xu Chu thought about was something else: "What should I do with Brother Huo, or else you can type the program while I'm reading."
"I said there's no rush," Huo Changzhi flatly refused, "You don't have to think about it, just wait for someone to come to us."
"What if no one is looking for us?" Xu Chu was a little anxious.
"Xu Chu, I'm a big shot, and the whole world is looking for me," Huo Changzhi said while helping him disinfect, "Someone may break open the door of this house at any time, waiting to show favors to me."
Xu Chu's wound was too deep, the flesh was turned out, and the bones were almost visible. Logically, such a deep wound would require stitches. But the conditions did not allow, Huo Changzhi could only search the medicine box to help him with the most basic treatment.
"It's best like this," Xu Chu was stunned, and whispered.
When the wound was touched by alcohol and iodine, it hurt even to say a word, so he asked Huo Changzhi for medicine: "Is there any painkiller, maybe anti-inflammatory medicine is also needed."
Huo Changzhi took out the gauze and wrapped it around Xu Chu's fingers.
Because of the blood loss, Xu Chu's hands became even colder, and the nails were transparent and round, wrapped in layers of gauze so they couldn't be seen.
After wrapping Xu Chu's three fingers like zongzi, Huo Changzhi went out to find painkillers.
Xu Chu believed part of what Huo Changzhi said, sat on the sofa, and touched the gauze ball on his hand.
Anyway, for him, in the last days of his life, as long as he doesn't stare at Huo Jiuan, nothing else matters.
Then wait for two days. Xu Chu thought, Huo Changzhi came in with water and medicine, and fed him the medicine.
11:30pm
The duration of the analgesic effect of Pili Pain was too short. Xu Chu lay down at 9 o'clock and was woken up by the pain at 11:30.
Although I took anti-inflammatory drugs, the wound was still inflamed inevitably.
Xu Chu groaned uncomfortably, turned over and wanted to sit up, but inadvertently pressed his right hand, and let out a soft "hiss".
"What's wrong?" Huo Changzhi didn't sleep deeply at all, he woke up when Xu Chu moved, and turned on the bedside lamp.
Xu Chu said: "I still want to take another pill of Pilipain."
Huo Changzhi looked at his watch: "No, the interval is too short."
Xu Chu suffered the double pinch of electric shock and fingertip pain, and cold sweat broke out from the pain. He curled up on the bed and said, "Then tell me a story, Brother Huo."
Huo Changzhi wanted Xu Chutong to stop talking, but what he said was: "What do you want to hear?"
"Listen to you?" Xu Chu had a strong thirst for knowledge, "It suddenly occurred to me that we haven't introduced each other yet."
Huo Changzhi thought about it seriously, and really introduced himself: "My name is Huo Changzhi, I am thirty-two years old..."
Xu Chu laughed loudly after hearing him say a few words, and his fingers hurt even more when he laughed and moved: "Okay, okay, Brother Huo, why are you so honest?"
Huo Changzhi wiped the sweat off his forehead for him, and said, "What about you?"
"My name is Xu Chu, and I'm twenty-eight years old," Xu Chu laughed again, "It's like a blind date."
"My birthday is April 10," Huo Changzhi said, "What constellation is it?"
"Taurus, in terms of astrology, is the best match for my Cancer," Xu Chu said, his left hand dawdly touched Huo Changzhi, and shook hands with Huo Changzhi, "Nice to meet you."
Huo Changzhi cautiously let Xu Chu shake his hand, and then let go.
He asked Xu Chu why he couldn't see.
Because when he saw Xu Chu for the first time, the eyes under Xu Chu's mask were still looking forward, with sparkling water, as charming as the surface of the sea in the middle of the night.
When Xu Chu heard the words, he looked left and right, with a look of embarrassment: "Accident."
"Huh?" Huo Changzhi asked him to continue.
"I was originally highly myopic, and I didn't pay attention to it. I used my eyes too much, and I got keratoconus due to various reasons." Xu Chu said quickly.
Huo Changzhi couldn't accept this reason.
"Before I lost my sight, I was a lecturer at Xiangdao University, and I was very busy," Xu Chu changed the subject, "So it's really Teacher Xu, I didn't take advantage of you, and later became a blind massage therapist, that is Master Xu, you can also call him Xu teacher."
Huo Changzhi laughed: "Do you really want to learn massage for the blind?"
"Isn't it good?" Xu Chu's tone was sincere, "Brother Huo's waist will be sore and his legs will hurt when the time comes, I'll just press it for you."
"You won't be invisible all the time," Huo Changzhi assured him.
Xu Chu smiled and didn't answer his words: "When Huo Jiuan asked you to come to me, what did he tell you?"
Huo Changzhi didn't know Xu Chu's purpose for asking him, so he avoided the important ones: "I just want me to take you out."
"I always feel like I've missed something," Xu Chu frowned, "There's a mistake in the general direction, but I can't tell what's wrong."
Huo Changzhi said: "Which aspect is wrong?"
"Everything." Xu Chu opened his eyes wide, and his surroundings were always dark and silent.
Xu Chu's brown pupils were illuminated by the light under the lamp, his pale lips moved, and he said: "everything has happened since you entered this room, why did Huo Jiuan ask you to come here? Is he trying to harm you or me? If he designed the house for a disabled person like me, is it necessary to make it so complicated? You say, if we think simpler, it will be easier to solve the problem?"
"Xu Chu..." Huo Changzhi became more agitated when he heard Xu Chuyue's words, and wanted him to calm down. Too much emotion is not conducive to the recovery of the wound.
Xu Chu suddenly speculated nervously: "Could it be that he is actually observing us in the dark, we are all his test subjects..."
"Xu Chu." Huo Changzhi called him with an emphatic tone.
Xu Chu finally stopped.
"Huo Jiu'an is dead," Huo Changzhi told him, "the night before I came to see you, acute myocarditis, I saw his broken heartbeat, and got his death certificate with my own hands. He is already dead."
Xu Chu was stunned.
After a long time, he said to Huo Changzhi, "Really?"
"Yes, before he died, he begged me to go to his company to get the design drawings and come to you," Huo Changzhi simply told Xu Chu, "He said he would give you the cornea."
"I don't want it." Xu Chu said without hesitation.
Huo Changzhi didn't speak, maybe that's why Huo Jiuan didn't let him tell the truth, or maybe it wasn't.
Xu Chu paused for a while, before saying: "I can't figure it out even more, I thought Huo Jiuan..."
"Then don't think about it, go to sleep." Huo Changzhi's voice was like a driftwood in the dark water, Xu Chu wanted to hold him tightly, and let the driftwood take him to the shore.
Huo Changzhi patted Xu Chu's shoulder to comfort him.
Xu Chu's body seemed to be used to the pain, and drowsiness took advantage of the opportunity.
Day 4.
02:30 am
Xu Chu dreamed about the past with Huo Jiuan.
Not long after he rented together with Huo Jiuan in his senior year, one day, Huo Jiuan pestered him to make barbecued pork for him to eat.
Xu Chu is from Shenzhen City, Huo Jiuan came from Xiangdao, he feels that he has fate with Huo Jiuan, Huo Jiuan has a sweet mouth, Xu Chu can be said to be obedient to him.
After agreeing to Huo Jiuan, Xu Chu chose a rest day, started preparations in the morning, and finally finished the barbecued pork at dinner time, waiting for Huo Jiuan to come back to eat.
It was past six o'clock, but Huo Jiuan didn't come back.
Xu Chu didn't take it seriously, there were many Chinese students living in their apartment building, and they often visited each other, Xu Chu did too much this time, so he left a portion for Huo Jiu'an, took the barbecued pork and shared it around the building, and A few acquaintances said they wanted to marry him and go home.
Dreaming here is still the real past. Suddenly, the black and white dream painting style changed, and Huo Jiuan's face appeared. He pulled Xu Chu and asked him: "Senior, why did you give my barbecued pork to others?"
"I left a big basin for you and put it in the freezer." Xu Chu in the dream replied nicely.
"How can this be done!" Huo Jiuan angrily said, "Even if the barbecued pork you made for me is rotten and maggots, I throw it away, it's still my barbecued pork!"
The scene changed to 1603 again. Xu Chu had never seen the layout of this house, but he saw it in his dream. This is a blood-red room, and the sound of a beating heart can be heard in the study, just like Huo Jiuan's heart, struggling to beat before dying.
Standing beside Huo Jiuan is a man whose face cannot be seen clearly, who is taller than Huo Jiuan.
"Xiao Chu, I'll give you my eyes." Huo Jiu'an wanted to pull Xu Chu, but Xu Chu avoided it.
"My brother will give it to you too," Huo Jiuan said eagerly, "Give me back my char siu, okay?"
Xu Chu heard himself say, "No way. I didn't make your barbecued pork."
Dreaming here, Xu Chu opened his eyes, but he still couldn't see anything, the movement of opening his eyes only meant that he was awake.
He stared, thinking clearly, if barbecued pork represented what Huo Jiuan wanted most, then he didn't do it.
Day 4.
07:00 am
When Huo Changzhi woke up, Xu Chu was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze with his shoulders hanging down.
The four walls in the room are opaque, and it will be dark if you don't turn on the lights. Xu Chu is wearing white clothes, and it looks like a big white mass in Huo Changzhi's hand. His hair is so long that it covers his eyes, and only his pointed chin is exposed, as if he was filming a ghost film.
"Xu Chu?" Huo Changzhi sat up, "How long have you been awake?"
Throughout the night, Xu Chu fell asleep for no more than two hours in total. His nerves were weakened by the pain, and his head seemed to be covered with fog, which hurt from the inside out.
Xu Chu said what he had thought about for several hours: "It has been more than fifty hours since you entered this house."
"So?" Huo Changzhi raised his eyebrows.
Xu Chu pondered for a moment before saying, "How long do you think it will take for the police to find you?"
Huo Changzhi said: "It shouldn't take long, my route is very simple."
Xu Chu asked him: "Have you experienced
