The little girl's struggles and shouts stopped abruptly at this moment.
She stared blankly at the severed child's arm with her eyes wide open, a dull haze slowly forming in her clear pupils.
"Don't..." she muttered to herself as if sleepwalking.
But the men in the cellar would not stop their cruel actions because of her words.
The child whose arm was cut off cried out in pain. The cry was mixed with despair and distortion, and floated out of the cellar along the cold wind and into the sky.
"continue."
The man gave the order, and Zhang Xian and the other big men took action again.
This time, they grabbed the right feet of the three children at the same time and aimed the machete at the hamstring.
The face of the little girl in the man's arms gradually turned pale.
She kept shaking her head.
"Stop...stop...you guys stop!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a cold sword flashed before her eyes, and hot blood spattered onto her eyelids.
Blood slowly slid down her eyelids, and the world in the little girl's eyes turned blood red.
In the blood, she saw the three children whose hamstrings had been severed, and their young facial features were distorted as if they were displaced due to pain.
The shrill screams were like fine needles, piercing the little girl's heart.
The little girl closed her eyes in despair, tears slowly falling down her beautiful face.
"Why don't you watch?" The man holding her stroked her hair like a doll, "This feast is specially prepared for you. If you don't watch, who will their performance be for?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the man's hand on her hair suddenly tightened.
The little girl's scalp hurt, and her head was pulled upwards.
"Kitten, open your eyes and take a good look." The man pulled her hair and pinched her chin with his other hand, forcing her to open her eyes. "If you don't look, these defective products will die."
More painful.”
The little girl had to open her eyes under the coercion of the man.
She looked at the children tied to the cross, one after another being tortured to the point of death in front of her, and her tears fell silently.
"Kitten," the man's devilish voice sounded in her ears, "If you don't want more people to die because of you, you have to stay by my side. You can't escape, and you will run away all your life.
Don’t fall off.”
In this life, you can't escape...
You can't even escape...
The light in the little girl's eyes gradually extinguished under the man's hypnotic words, and finally turned into complete silence.
She can't escape.
…
"No……"
The girl on the hospital bed frowned.
She murmured uneasily, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead again.
Xi Jiu, who had been looking at her, quickly grabbed her hand.
"Baby, I'm here! Don't be afraid, baby, don't be afraid!"
The man's gentle comfort had no effect. Ruan Qi was completely trapped in a nightmare and could not hear sounds from the real world.
Nie Beilou got up from the sofa and walked quickly to the bedside.
He opened Ruan Qi's eyelids and took a look, then took out a few silver needles and stuck them on the top of her head.
"Talk to her more. Now her consciousness has sunk into a nightmare, and she must be brought back."
Xi Jiu's heart sank, and she grabbed the little girl's hand and started calling her one after another.
"Baby, grandpa and mom and dad miss you very much. Chef Chen at home has researched new dishes, and he always asks me when you have time to go back and help him try the dishes."
"Baby, Director Jian called me this afternoon. Mo Lan said you were injured and hospitalized, and Director Jian was very worried. He asked you to get well soon and go back to continue filming for him."
"Your birthday party is coming soon. Fans have already started preparing to support you, and I have prepared too. I just don't know if you will like it."
"Qin Qingdi called me yesterday. She asked me for the right to use the exterior lighting of the Twin Towers of Xi's headquarters. She said that on your birthday party, she wanted to spell out your name with lights on the Twin Towers."
"Baby……"
"Baby……"
Xixi, who heard the commotion outside, walked to the big glass and saw the man chattering like this.
Xixi was a little surprised, and at the same time she felt a little sour.
The head of the Xi family is taciturn and cold as ice, but he never thought that one day he would willingly turn into a chatterbox for the sake of a girl.
The man's voice was hoarse and gentle, and every word he spoke was filled with affection. His voice carried far away in the quiet night, and the tenderness and sadness in his tone made everyone in the ward feel sad.
Ruan Qi, who was trapped in a nightmare, gradually responded to the man's constant nagging.
A line of tears fell from the end of her eyes, and she sobbed and shouted: "Jiujiu..."
"I'm here." Xi Jiu immediately replied, "Baby, I'm here. Please open your eyes and look at me."
When Ruan Qi heard the man's words, her eyes quickly moved under her eyelids.
Xi Jiu immediately raised her voice, "Baby! Wake up!"
One after another, familiar voices entered the nightmare of endless darkness.
who is it?
Who is speaking?
Why is it so noisy?
The nine-year-old girl struggled to open her eyelids, but she couldn't wake up.
At this time, a burst of fresh medicinal fragrance, like the breeze blowing on the lake, enveloped her gently.
A warm and soft hand gently landed on her cheek.
"Xiaoqi, wake up."
who is it?
Such a gentle female voice.
Which young lady is it?
The little girl's eyelids moved and she slowly opened her dull eyes.
Endless darkness poured into her world instantly.
Only the graceful and gentle silhouette in front of her, as well as the pair of peach blossom eyes that were exactly like hers, were like a ray of sunshine, warming her heart.
"Little sister...who are you?"
"Me? I am you."
…
The first ray of sunshine in the sky broke through the long and lonely night.
The sun rises in the east, and its rays of light spread all over the earth.
In the ward, Xi Xi and others who were sitting or lying all opened their eyes from their sleep. Nie Heng opened the curtains, opened the windows, and the warm breeze of July blew into the room, sweeping away the haze of the night.
"How is senior sister?"
"I slept well in the second half of the night." Xi Jiu took the wet towel from Mo Lan's hand and wiped the little girl's face carefully. "I talked in my sleep a few times, but I soon calmed down. Mr. Beilou, Xiaoqi, what?
When will you wake up?"
Nie Beilou felt Ruan Qi's pulse, opened her eyelids and took a look.
"I can't say. Her body functions are all normal now. The reason why she is not awake is due to her own subjective consciousness."
Xi Jiujun frowned.
"You mean, Xiaoqi doesn't want to wake up?"
"No." Nie Beilou shook his head, "It's not that she doesn't want to wake up, but that her current state of consciousness cannot distinguish between reality and dreams. She thinks that dreams are reality."
To put it simply, it means confusion of consciousness and mistaking dreams for the real world.
That's why she didn't wake up for a long time.
"Then if senior sister never realizes that the dream world is fake, won't she never wake up?"
Nie Heng asked what everyone was most worried about.
Nie Beilou nodded gloomily.
"There is such a possibility. So you must always speak in her ear and pull her out of the dream world."
…
Just as Nie Beilou, Nie Heng and others were discussing what to do, a taxi suddenly braked and stopped outside the hospital.
The person in the car took out two hundred yuan, said "No need to look for it", and hurriedly got out of the car.
Dragging his suitcase, he rushed into the inpatient department with flying steps and headed straight for the elevator.
At the door of the women's bathroom not far from the elevator, a woman wearing glasses said softly.
"That person... looks like Shen Wenqian."
"Who?" Another woman in white who had just walked out of the bathroom heard this and frowned and asked, "Who do you think you are?"
"Shen Wenqian is Ruan Qi's agent." The bespectacled woman pointed in the direction of the elevator, "I just saw him pulling his suitcase into the elevator. Strange, what is Shen Wenqian doing in the inpatient department? Could it be to see patients?
of?"
When the woman in white heard this, she glanced thoughtfully in the direction of the elevator.
"Sister Xu," the bespectacled woman looked at her and asked, "Should I tell Miss Third about this?"
The woman in white's eyes flashed and she said, "Of course I have to tell you. Aren't you worried about not being able to catch Ruan Qi's pigtails? Maybe this is a good opportunity. Xiaolin, go ask a nurse and see if you can
Ask Shen Wenqian why he came to the inpatient department. I will go back to the ward first and tell the third lady about this."
The two women divided into two groups.
The woman in white quickly returned to the ward.
Before he could open the door and go in, he heard Cheng Run's shrill screams coming from the ward.
"Can you please be gentle? This is a human head, not an animal head!"
"If you feel it hurts, just apply the medicine yourself!" Cheng Run's wife's sharp voice came out immediately, "You have no ability, you dare to go to the office alone to settle the score with Cheng Jinyan. You don't even look in the mirror to see who you are.
!You are the only one with a pig brain like you who can fight with Cheng Jinyan!"
"How did I know that Cheng Jinyan was so ruthless?" Cheng Run cursed, "No matter what, I am still his third uncle, and he actually hit me with a lamp for a little star! I think he was really stunned by that Ruan Qi,
I can’t tell the difference between closeness and distance!”
"You deserve it! What kind of heart is Cheng Jinyan? You have lived in the Cheng family for so many years and you have no idea?! Even the old man is very afraid of him, but you are rushing to die!"
"Aren't I doing this for Yanyan?" Cheng Run was angry that his wife was belittling him so much, and retorted at the top of his voice, "If it weren't for Cheng Jinyan suppressing Yanyan's public relations team, would she have been scolded so miserably by netizens? Isn't it just because of her hair?
Did Weibo contain Ruan Qi’s words? Those idiots chased Yan Yan to apologize to Ruan Qi. A little star, with broken shoes worn by Xi Jiu, is she worthy of being apologized to by our Cheng family?!"
The woman in white standing outside the door eavesdropping couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Return it to the Cheng family?
The old man of the Cheng family expelled your family of three eight hundred years ago. How can you have the dignity to call yourself a Cheng family member?
The woman in white was complaining crazily in her heart, but she knocked on the door with a normal look on her face.
"Come in." Cheng Run's wife's voice came out.
The woman in white pushed the door open and entered.
In the ward, Cheng Run was leaning on the bed with a bandage on his head, and Cheng Run's wife was sitting beside him. On the single sofa far away from them, Cheng Yan was staring at the screen of her mobile phone with a gloomy face.
"Mr. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng, Third Miss." The woman in white called out one by one.
Cheng Run's wife frowned and said with an unhappy face, "Why does it take so long to go to the toilet? There was no one to apply medicine to my husband just now, so I had to do it myself."
You need help from others to take the medicine, your cerebellum is atrophied!
The woman in white wanted to put a chamber pot on her head, but she still said with a smile on her face: "Madam, don't be angry, it's not my fault. The reason for the delay is because I met someone outside."
"Who?"
Woman in white: "Shen Wenqian."
Cheng Yan, who had been staring down at her phone, suddenly raised her head.
She stared closely at the woman in white and asked, "Who did you say you saw?"
"Shen Wenqian." The woman in white replied with a smile, "It's Ruan Qi's manager. I saw him grabbing his suitcase and rushing into the inpatient department in a panic. It seemed like he was looking for someone."
Find someone?
A flash of doubt flashed in Cheng Yan's eyes.
Who would Shen Wenqian come to find in a place like the inpatient department?
Is anyone around him sick?
Could it be Ruan Qi?
Just when Cheng Yan was making speculations, the bespectacled woman who went to the nurse to inquire about the news came back.
"Third Miss, Shen Wenqian is indeed here to see the patient's ward."
Cheng Yan's eyebrows moved.
The price of this private hospital is very high. A night stay in the ward costs 10,000 yuan. Of course, the price of 10,000 yuan can be afforded by anyone with some status in the imperial capital. But the problem is, even if you can afford this money,
Other hospitals may not admit you.
Because this kind of ward is specially prepared for the powerful people in the upper class.
For example, before the Cheng Yan family was kicked out of the Cheng family, they were also eligible to live in the top-floor ward. But now the Cheng family's network does not recognize them, and the ward.
Even Cheng Run couldn't stay in the ward, so who among Shen Wenqian's acquaintances would be qualified to live there?
The answer is ready to come out.
Cheng Yan suddenly became energetic.
She asked the bespectacled woman, "Is Ruan Qi living in that ward?"
"I don't know about that." The bespectacled woman shook her head. "These nurses are very tight-lipped. I spent two thousand yuan to pry open one person's mouth. But she only said that the person living in that ward was a high-ranking person.
Even the director of the hospital went to greet me personally and didn’t say anything else.”
High position and authority...
Cheng Yan's expression twisted, and a sneer flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Ruan Qi is a little star, but she has a high and powerful position.
It must be because of Xi Jiu that she can receive such treatment!
It’s true that a sparrow flew onto a branch and turned into a phoenix!
The quenched poisonous jealousy grew wildly in her heart again. Cheng Yan narrowed her eyes sadly and said slowly: "You continue to inquire. Even if you pay me, you have to break the mouths of those nurses! I will definitely do it."
You want to know what disease Ruan Qi has!"
…
Shen Wenqian didn't know that he was exposed.
He flew back to the Imperial Capital from City W overnight. He didn't close his eyes all night while on the plane. As soon as he fell asleep, he would dream about the scene when Ruan Qi was unconscious the last time.
After finally waiting for the plane to land, he hurried over in a taxi without even having a drink of water.
"How is Xiaoqi?" He panted and rushed into the ward, dragging his suitcase.
Due to various problems, the address has been changed. Please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
