There were very few dishes to choose from in a late-night fast food restaurant. I bought two portions of white porridge and a few side dishes, and then went back.
My eyes were busy all the way from the fast food restaurant to the ward.
It's probably a psychological effect. Anyway, I always feel like there's something following me around me.
I walked this short few hundred meters for about ten minutes, and two-thirds of that time was spent looking for the faceless woman, as if she was still hovering around me.
Just when I came to the bottom of the stairs, I received a call from Xiangyu.
Xiangyu's tone on the phone was very panicked, and she couldn't express clearly what the situation was over there despite several words.
While answering the phone, I ran several stairs at a time to the ward.
When I stood panting in front of Xiangyu, Xiangyu still looked shocked.
The intravenous needle on her hand had been torn off for some unknown reason, and large drops of blood on the back of her hand were dripping down her fingers.
"Xiangyu, what's wrong?" I hurriedly ran over, picked up Xiangyu's bleeding hand, then asked her to sit back on the bed, and pressed the call light on the bedside of the ward.
"Zhou Cang, I saw a faceless woman," Xiangyu suddenly said in a daze.
"What, a shameless woman?" When I heard her say that, I couldn't help but stand up in fear.
"She opened the door quietly, then quietly walked up to me, and covered my nose and mouth with her hands. She, she wanted to kill me." Xiangyu said a little incoherently.
"Xiangyu, are you having a nightmare?" Although I have seen the faceless woman, the words Xiangyu just said were said in a way that made people think that she was a little unclear, and
In order not to scare her, I still asked.
"Zhou Cang, it's not a dream. I saw it clearly. During the struggle, I accidentally pulled out the intravenous needle on my hand. You see, this hand is still bleeding, so it can't be a dream.
"Yes." Xiangyu felt so frightened that she grabbed my hand and said excitedly.
"You mean, have you seen a ghost?" I asked nonchalantly.
"It's not a ghost, Zhou Cang. She is a human being, a living person. Moreover, I feel that she must have been to Wawu Mountain and been harmed by the radiation from the ancient temple abyss, so she looks like that." Xiang Yu opened her eyes.
He looked at me with big eyes and said.
"Having been to Wawu Mountain, how can you be so sure? Didn't you say she wanted to kill you?" I asked.
"Because during this process, she kept muttering, two words," Xiangyu said, looking around, as if the faceless woman was still around us, and then approached me and moved towards me
Whispered one word: "Astrolabe."
The astrolabe is also related to the astrolabe.
How many people are involved behind this astrolabe?
I suddenly thought that the faceless woman just came to see me specifically, but the medical staff just happened to push Xiangyu out of the MRI room, so she left out of desperation.
She has been following me. Could it be that she has taken a fancy to the two astrolabees on my body?
"Xiangyu, besides the astrolabe, did she say anything else?" I asked.
"No," Xiangyu said, and then as if she remembered something, she grabbed my wrist hard, and her sharp fingernails dug into my flesh, "Zhou Cang, I think she is
acquaintance."
"Acquaintance? What acquaintance?" I was a little confused.
"Anyway, I feel like she knows everything we do, as if she was involved in our experiences in Wawu Mountain, Poyang Lake, and Shentang Bay," Xiangyu said.
"But you are the only woman who has participated in these places. I really can't think of any other women." I looked at Xiangyu in confusion and said.
"Xiangyu, could it be that your twin sister is not dead?" I said to Xiangyu.
"What are you talking about? How is this possible?" Xiangyu looked at me a little angry.
By this time, doctors and nurses had already rushed over.
"What's going on? Is the patient in a manic mood?"
The attending doctor looked at Xiang Yu's bleeding hand and the needle hanging on the ground, and asked with some understanding.
"She might have had a nightmare just now." I explained vaguely.
The nurse had already put Xiangyu lying on the bed and started cleaning her wounds.
"The patient may have been excessively frightened, so she may have an emotional accident at any time. However, judging from the current situation, she is still awake, so there is no need to use sedatives for the time being. Therefore, you still need to use sedatives tonight."
Be more careful." The middle-aged male doctor said to me.
"Okay, okay, doctor, thank you." I thanked him repeatedly.
After the doctor and nurse left, Xiangyu's mood became much more stable.
"Get up and have some porridge," I asked.
Xiangyu sat up and said weakly: "Zhou Cang, thank you. I can do it myself."
She took the porridge bowl from my hand and started eating it in small bites.
However, I could still feel that Xiangyu was still in shock, so I couldn't help but said: "Xiangyu, you don't have to be afraid, I will always be here tonight. If she dares to come again, I will never let her come again."
It hurts you."
"Zhou Cang, I think she is still staring around us, really." Xiangyu put down the porridge bowl in his hand and said with a look of horror.
At this time, I felt that there might be something wrong with Xiangyu.
Because based on her personal experience and the things she had experienced together, a faceless woman would definitely not scare her like this.
So, Xiangyu may not have told me the truth.
But, what is she hiding? Why should she hide it?
Since I was so frightened by her, wouldn't telling me everything clearly help me understand everything about the other person, which would also help us deal with that faceless woman together?
Maybe because he saw me in a daze, Xiangyu moved off the bed and said, "Zhou Cang, what are you thinking about? Or have you discovered her too?"
"Oh," I suddenly came back to my senses, and then said, "No, I just got a little distracted suddenly. You can sleep peacefully after eating the porridge, I will always stay by your side."
Xiangyu looked at me, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end. After sitting on the bed for a while with her knees in her arms, she finally lay down.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Xiangyu finally fell into a deep sleep in the middle of the night.
The hospital was already very quiet late at night, and the hospital didn't seem to be doing very well, so basically there was no sound at all in the entire inpatient department.
Seeing that Xiangyu had already fallen asleep, I couldn't help but my eyelids kept fighting, so I lay down on the empty bed next door.
I fell asleep almost as soon as my head hit the pillow.
That night, the faceless woman didn't bother us again. Xiangyu and I both slept deeply. It wasn't until early in the morning that the hospital cleaner came to clean the room and woke me up.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I found that Xiangyu was not on her bed, so I couldn't help but sit up from the bed.
The IV bottle on the bed frame was empty, the infusion needle had been pulled out, and the infusion tube was placed haphazardly on the bedside cabinet.
"Xiangyu," I couldn't help shouting, startling the cleaners who were cleaning.
"Zhou Cang, what's wrong?" Xiangyu rushed out of the toilet.
It turned out that she was going to the toilet, and I was making too much of a fuss.
"Oh," I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment, "I woke up and found you missing, so I was a little anxious. I didn't expect you to go to the bathroom."
Xiangyu laughed out loud, "Look, I scared you so much. I'll report it to you when I go to the toilet in the future."
"Hey hey hey," I laughed a little embarrassedly.
"Hey, Zhou Cang, what's that thing under your pillow?" Xiangyu suddenly came forward, sat down on the edge of my bed, and pointed at my pillow.
"It seems to be a letter," I lowered my head and pulled out the wax paper envelope from under the pillow.
"Who gave it to you? It's so strange, stuff it under your pillow." Xiangyu said.
"I don't know. I slept so hard last night that I almost didn't even turn over." I answered, and then opened the envelope.
The moment I opened the letter, I felt that all the blood in my body had solidified.
