"How is it possible? Could it be that you are mistaken? My teacher told me that this classmate's father is hospitalized in the county hospital. He has not yet gone to school, and he came back specially to take care of others."
Dean Chen smiled and said: "Little Master, we can't make a mistake. When a patient is hospitalized, it's a big deal. We have to write it down and make a form. Who's name is there, what disease he got, and what medicine he took. All the statistics are collected by the department. Okay, can’t you believe me?”
Although Dean Chen is still smiling, his attitude in speaking is very sincere and looks genuine.
"Why don't you go back and ask again? It won't be too late to call when you get some news."
Since the director of the hospital has already said that there is no such person, I have no choice.
After leaving the hospital and returning to the car, I asked the driver, Uncle Peng: "Uncle, do you know where Bajing Village is?"
"Of course I know. It's in the next town. It's a ravine. No one lived there in the early days. Later, during the Anti-Japanese War, our uncle soldiers fought guerrillas here. As a foothold, they dug eight holes. Well. When the war ended, a village developed based on the eight wells. In order to commemorate the good deed, the village was called Eight Well Village."
Uncle Peng really knows a lot, I am very happy.
"That's just right. My classmate is not in the hospital. Let's go directly to the village. When we get there, we can find out which family it is."
Uncle Peng recalled the route, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the next town.
It was completely dark. The car's headlights illuminated the gravel road in the countryside. It didn't dare to drive fast and swayed. It took about twenty minutes to reach a village.
"If I remember correctly, this seems to be Yajing Village."
Uncle Peng accompanied me down in a tacit understanding, lighting the way with his flashlight.
I pointed to a house not far away, with lights still shining through the windows of the house.
"Hey, is there anyone in there? Is there anyone?"
Just when I was unprepared, there was a sudden barking of a dog behind me. It turned out to be a black dog tied up under the tree behind me. I didn't see it because it was too dark. Now it scared me.
After a while, an old man came out of the house and asked me, "Who are you?"
"Old uncle, is there a big fat boy in your village named Wei Yu, and his father is Wei Danian. He is injured and is home to recuperate, right?"
The man was a little wary: "Yes, who are you?"
"I'm Wei Yu's junior high school classmate. I sit with me. I didn't come to school today, so I came to take a look."
Unexpectedly, when the old man heard what I said, he waved his hand directly and told us to go back and not go to his house.
I asked why I couldn't go. The old man was silent for a while, then came over, opened the door, and told us the truth.
"Wei Danian did come back from the city, it's true, but the reason is that he got hysteria for some reason and made a big fuss on the construction site. He had no choice but to be sent home by the foreman. He was tied up and several people carried him back. ."
The old man paused, and then talked about Fatty Wei's father's appearance when he came back.
"People in our village are actually afraid. He is suffering from hysteria, and it seems that all his strength can't be used up. Now he has not slept for two days since he came back. His eyes are so red that they are bleeding, and he is yelling that he is going to be taken. He fought with someone for 300 rounds with his knife. Even if he was tied to the bed, the rope could break him. It’s for your own good that I won’t let you pass. Otherwise, you will definitely be frightened by the appearance, and maybe even by him. beat."
Hearing what he said, I immediately felt something was wrong. What kind of hysteria was this? Why did it look like I was possessed by something dirty?
Let's go take a look and wait until tomorrow to call the master and take a look again. This problem is not simple.
I kept pestering him until the old man agreed to take us there.
After walking along the dirt road to the east of the village for about seven or eight minutes, we came to a house. The old man pointed to a three-tile-roofed house and told us: "That's it. Go there by yourself."
With that, he turned around and left without saying anything.
I had an ominous premonition, and sure enough, before I even reached the door, I heard a cracking sound in the distance.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" a man's hoarse angry cry came from the room.
When the flashlight shined through, I shouted towards the house: "Feed the fish, Wei Yu!"
After a while, the door opened, and it was indeed Fat Wei Yu who came out.
He was a little surprised by my arrival.
"Why did you come to my house? Didn't my mother tell the teacher that my father is sick? I will go back to school in two days."
I handed him the snacks I bought in advance: "You said you were hospitalized in the county hospital. I went to the county hospital and couldn't find it, so I had to come to your village and visit your house to find you. Why don't you ask me to come in and play?" I ate several packets of spicy strips last time and I’m so thirsty, please get me a glass of water.”
The fat man's eyes were red and swollen, and he hesitated on his face: "Don't come in, please come back next time. My parents are both asleep."
Before he finished speaking, a woman's screams came from the room, and then she burst into tears.
"Wait for me for a while." Wei Yu closed the door, turned around and went back.
In the room, hoarse roars continued.
We waited outside the house for two minutes before Wei Yu opened the door again.
"Wei Yu, if you are invited to your home, please tell me. I will protect you."
When I said this, I felt that if I held a cigarette in my mouth and took two breaths, it would be right.
"You, if you're not afraid, just come in and see for yourself."
Uncle Peng stood outside waiting, and I followed Wei Yu in.
Wei Yu's family is not poor, but at this time the whole house is in a mess, and they can't find a place to stay.
The table was overturned, the bench was smashed, and quilt wadding was everywhere on the floor, except that the roof did not collapse.
Just behind Wei Yu, a fat woman was sitting on the ground crying.
Beside him, a shirtless man with unkempt hair and a haggard face was sitting on the bed.
He was extremely thin, with a pair of dark circles on his face, and his whole body was skinny and bones, like a skeleton.
His ankles were tightly tied with a finger-thick iron chain. He struggled angrily, bared his teeth, bitten his lips, and there was blood everywhere at the corners of his mouth.
There was a large pile of bricks and sacks piled on the bed, which seemed to weigh several hundred kilograms together with the bed. But as the muscles in his legs tightened, he just pulled away, and the iron chains dragged the bed outwards a few times. centimeters.
He pointed at a few of us with his fingers, rolled his eyes and glared: "Ah, wow, you all deserve to die. You, you all are going to rebel against me. I'm tired of living."
"Kill, kill! Kill you all!"
