When Dong Qiangqiang opened his eyes, the first thing that caught his eye was the lush branches and vines above his head. This made him doubly confused: Did I go to catch wild boars again? Before he could figure it out, he felt like his head was exploding, as if there were countless drums playing in unison in his head at the same time.
He held his head and half sat up with one hand on the ground in confusion. He looked around in confusion, only to see a dense forest six or seven meters high and as thick as the mouth of a bowl, as well as a mess of tall plants more than one meter high. It seemed very similar to a certain forest where he and Lei Lanting caught wild boars before.
Where am I? Dong Qiangqiang said to himself, why do I remember someone pushing me into the house just now?
The forest at night is empty and quiet, with very limited visibility. There is some kind of off-white fog floating between the trees. The fog is already hazy a few meters away from Dong Qiangqiang. You can't see the trees hidden in the fog. You can only see the trees hidden in the fog. See tree branches stretching out from the fog. Further away, the mist was like a veil, making Dong Qiangqiang feel that a ferocious beast would jump out from behind the tree at any time, opening its bloody mouth and pounce on him.
He remembered that he had read relevant articles before, and that spruce and pine trees were the most common in German forests, but the trees in front of him now seemed to be poplars or birches. Am I no longer in Germany? he asked himself softly.
He looked up, trying to distinguish his position through the starry sky above his head, but all he could see were leaves covering the sky and the sun, and there were clouds of mist between the only gaps.
He tried hard to stand up, but his whole body seemed to be falling apart in pain, and he couldn't make any effort at all.
He wanted to shout, but no sound came out of his throat.
Just when he was trying to figure out why he couldn't make a sound, a bright light source suddenly appeared on the other side of the forest.
This group of light became shadowy behind the gauze-like mist, making it impossible to distinguish its specific location, but Dong Qiangqiang clearly felt through the increasing brightness: the light source was approaching him.
He heard someone calling his name in his ears.
I'm here. He shouted loudly, but still no sound came out.
Along with the shouts getting closer and closer, Dong Qiangqiang heard a series of soft footsteps, which made him alert.
Just as he was looking around to see who it was, water suddenly fell from his head.
Dong Qiangqiang suddenly raised his head, only to see that the previously dense leaves were suddenly blown away by the wind. The night sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was a faint sight of lightning flashing between the clouds.
The initial raindrops soon turned into heavy raindrops, and the raindrops soon connected into fine lines.
Just as Dong Qiangqiang was about to reach out to wipe the rain off his face, he suddenly heard someone not far away shouting his name loudly: "Dong Qiangqiang! Did you hear it?"
Before Dong Qiangqiang could answer, more rain fell from the sky.
Dong Qiangqiang was completely awake now, and at a glance he saw Du Lan squatting next to him, and the other person with his back to him facing the door. Looking at the back, he seemed to be Lao Bai.
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang's eyes rolling around, with tears on his face, Du Lan shouted excitedly: "Old Bai! Look! His eyes are moving!"
When Lao Bai heard the sound, he turned around and saw Dong Qiangqiang looking at him as well.
When their eyes met, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but wonder: Why didn't he speak? Have I already hung up? What saw them was actually not my body but my soul?
Lao Bai suddenly approached, bent down, raised his hand and slapped Dong Qiangqiang gently in the mouth. Although he didn't use any force with his hand, Dong Qiangqiang still cried out in pain: "Ah..."
"Holy shit!" Lao Bai was surprised and happy, "Can you make a sound?"
"I... seem to have had a dream that is both real and unreal..." Dong Qiangqiang replied incoherently, "What's wrong with me?"
"The police saw that you had a pulse, but they didn't dare to touch you even if you opened your eyes and didn't speak. Let us wait here for the ambulance." Lao Bai said while observing Dong Qiangqiang's consciousness and speech. Seeing that he seemed normal, he deliberately teased, "You are very good at pretending to be a corpse. Did you practice it when you were catching wild boars? It depends on our hearts, otherwise you will have to be scared to death..." After saying that, he winked at Dong Qiangqiang, " Then what... I'll tell the police that you're awake." After that, he exited the room.
"You scared me to death..." Du Lan's voice was trembling, "I just thought, thought..." She said "thought" twice in a row, but she couldn't say the rest of it.
"I...isn't this good?" Dong Qiangqiang tried to raise his hand to pull Du Lan's arm, but his arm seemed to be hung with several transparent lead balls and became extremely heavy. In the end, he could only settle for the next best thing. Touched Du Lan's hand.
The back of Du Lan's hand was cold and slippery. Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself that this was probably the "hand like catkin" mentioned in the Book of Songs. As he thought about it, he comforted him: "I'm fine. How did you find me?"
"Lao Bai was already here when I came. You can ask him when he comes later." Du Lan looked at Dong Qiangqiang eagerly, with red eyes, and complained in a low voice, "You are an adult, why? Are you always so impulsive and careless about doing things? Did you never consider my feelings before taking risks? "
Dong Qiangqiang knew that she blamed him because she had a lot of grievances, worries and unhappiness in her heart that she wanted to release. He wanted to explain, but on second thought, he was afraid that he would paint a darker picture, so it was better not to say anything and admit his mistake. Thinking of this, he listened in silence with an awkward smile on his face like a child who had made a mistake. He understood that what Du Lan said meant that she did have true feelings for him, but the two of them had not known each other for a long time, so why did she have such deep feelings for him? Dong Qiangqiang couldn't understand.
When the two were speechless, Lao Bai led a tall, capable German policeman into the house: "Officer Wohlleben, Dong Qiangqiang is awake."
"Hello, Mr. Dong," Wohlleben said with a clear accent, "we need you to go to the police station to take notes and tell us clearly what happened here tonight. Let's go now. Oh. …Can you leave?”
"I...maybe not able to do it." Dong Qiangqiang hesitated.
Wuchleben turned and waved toward the door and shouted: "Stretcher."
Before being put into the ambulance, Dong Qiangqiang suddenly said to Du Lan: "Don't go to the police station. Just go with Lao Bai."
Du Lan was actually in trouble over this matter just now: if she accompanied Dong Qiangqiang to the hospital, then her group today would not start and end well. Not making money would be a small matter, but her reputation would be a big deal. She was worried that it would affect her future business. However, it is still unknown how badly Dong Qiangqiang was injured. It seems unreasonable that he did not go to the hospital even though he already knew about it.
After hearing what Dong Qiangqiang said, she became even more hesitant. Lao Bai seemed to see her worry and took a step forward and said: "I have to go to the police station anyway, Qiang Qiang, just leave it to me without worry, but my team will have to trouble you to help me deal with the aftermath."
