After calling several times, Songzi still didn't respond. Perhaps because he was curled up, his clothes were wrinkled together, so I couldn't see whether his belly was bulging with breathing. After shouting a few words of no response, I reached out to shake his shoulders and found that they were a little stiff, but not the kind of stiffness that occurs after death. There was still some flexibility in Songzi's shoulders.
So I felt a little relieved, but I was worried that maybe it was because Song Nu had just died and his body hadn't completely become rigid yet. So I flattened his body so that he was lying flat. During the process of turning over, the hand that was originally covering his neck slipped down, revealing three claw marks on his neck. It was a feeling similar to being clawed by some wild beast, each bite was very deep and the skin was torn. But judging from the extent of the surrounding blood, it seemed that the large blood vessel in the neck was not injured. Otherwise, there shouldn't be only this little blood on the ground.
I stretched out three fingers and pressed the soft area between the right side of Songzi's plug and his neck with the pads of my fingers. I pressed my fingers with a little force. When it came into contact with his skin, I was completely relieved, because His body is still warm and his skin is relatively soft, which means he is still alive. After touching it carefully, I found that there was still a pulse in my neck. It was probably due to excessive blood loss, which is why it became like this.
Judging from the degree of dryness of the blood on Songzi's hands and neck and the degree to which his lips were peeling, he had remained in this position for at least a day. The wound had already stopped bleeding. However, due to the loss of blood and the lack of water or food for at least a day, his The body has become dehydrated. And when I felt his pulse, I just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to call Qin Bukong loudly when I suddenly felt a tightening on my neck. Songzi suddenly opened his eyes, with that kind of panic. With a fierce look, his hands tightly locked my neck.
So I threw away the flashlight in my hand, grabbed his wrist with both hands, and began to push it out, so that I could breathe easier, but I don't know why, Songzi's strength at this moment was stronger than I thought. a lot of. Probably because when people encounter danger, they can always burst out with more strength than usual. While holding his hand, I struggled to say to him, "Pine nuts!" it's me! Let go!
After saying four or five sentences in a row, Songzi's frightened and angry eyes gradually softened. It seemed that after recovering his consciousness, he finally recognized me. Slowly he loosened his hand softly and looked towards me. After giving me a weak smile, I suddenly rolled my eyes, threw my head back, and fainted again.
I didn't care that my neck was pinched by pine nuts, so I quickly stretched out my hands to support him, and then he lay down flat. I also used my backpack to cushion the back of his neck so that his head could lie flat. It can also be tilted up a little, so as to ensure that his breathing is smooth to the greatest extent. Songzi's weird smile before he fainted was like a person whose nerves had been tense for a long time and suddenly relaxed. Maybe he also hoped that we would discover his disappearance countless times in the past two days, and even I found this place earlier, I waited and waited, and finally got it.
After I flattened the pine nuts, I started calling Qin Bukong loudly. A few minutes later, Qin Bukong rushed over in search of a sound. After all, he was an older man, so I reached out and pulled him to the buffer step. After briefly telling Qin Bukong the situation and that Songzi had been awake briefly for a few seconds, Qin Bukong frowned and said, although he doesn't like this kid very much, after all, life-saving is important, so let's send him to the hospital first.
Qin Bukong's words surprised me. Originally, I thought he was going to leave Songzi here to fend for himself. So he and I helped Songzi up and sat upright, and he began to repeatedly pinch Songzi's philtrum and under the two eyebrows, at the center of the eyebrow bone. It is said that there is a pain point in this place. If pressed hard, people can regain consciousness due to pain. Sure enough, his method was quite effective, and soon Songzi opened his eyes weakly, but because he was too weak, he opened his mouth several times. Although his lips were moving, he could not speak, so he said finally He even cried helplessly, and the cry was also desperate and hoarse.
I feel uncomfortable, but I know that Qin Bukong and I are the people Songzi trusts most at this moment. For this reason, we must take him away from here safely. So Qin Bukong took out his kettle, poured out more than half of the water in the kettle, handed the remaining water to Song Zi, and asked him to drink first. I even glared at Qin Bukong and said, You can't be so stingy, right? People are like this and you deliberately waste water. Do you still have no humanity? Qin Bukong still said indifferently, you know nothing. He has been dehydrated for so long. Do you want to kill him immediately by asking him to drink water? I realized that I had made a mistake. After all, I was still too ignorant, so I remained silent.
After Songzi drank water, his energy improved a little, and his body was able to move slowly. Qin Bukong and I started to help him walk towards the railing beside the kiln cover. I climbed at the front and put my satchel The shoulder straps were stretched to their longest length and wrapped twice around Songzi's arms, so that he would not fall out of the air due to loss of strength. Even so, it was still very difficult to get a big, soft person like Song Zi out of the manhole cover. Fortunately, when Qin Bukong finally came out, I quickly closed the manhole cover and scraped a hole with my key on the wall next to it. The small cross serves as a mark. Fortunately, the manhole cover was also in a small alley and next to a garbage disposal station, so no one noticed us.
So we rushed to the street, found out about the nearest hospital, and then sent the pine nuts there.
The doctor's diagnosis said that the injury on Song Zi's neck did not cut the aorta, so it was just a trauma, and stitches and dressings would be enough. If it had been more than an inch off, the blood would have been drained by the time we found him. Trauma was only one of the causes of his weakness. What really defeated him was dehydration.
Since Song Zi couldn't speak well, the doctor also told her that she needed to rest and not talk too much, so we didn't ask anyone. In the afternoon of the same day, I gave Pine Nut stitches and followed the procedures of Western medicine. I was given some anti-inflammatory drugs and glucose to replenish the physical energy lost in the past two days.
Qin Bukong and I began to take turns taking care of Songzi. As long as there was no life-threatening danger, everyone felt a lot more relieved. On the afternoon of the second day after being admitted to the hospital, Songzi's recovery was still very good and he could speak slowly and quietly, so I started to ask him why he left alone that day and what he encountered in the sewer.
Songzi lowered his head in shame. He told us that the reason for leaving was to be able to make some contribution to everyone with his own strength. Anyway, being idle is idle. As expected, just as Qin Bukong guessed, he was eager to Look for an opportunity to prove yourself. And the reason why he wanted to go into the sewer was because when he was investigating a few days ago, he found that even if it was near the iron gate that had been demolished and rebuilt, built and demolished again, it was still possible to tell the difference from the appearance at a glance to this day. The Feng Shui layout, from the position of the arches to the distribution of the surrounding residential buildings, was not just a coincidence, but contained a certain amount of Feng Shui knowledge. So he guessed at that time that since everything on the surface still followed such a pattern, then The same should be true of the ground where it is difficult to dig.
At that time, Songzi used his Feng Shui acupoint theory to put himself in the shoes of the senior who buried things. If it were him, where would it be better to hide such things? After calculation, he found three matching locations around Tiemenguan, but there was only one location. He thought it was the most likely, because in that place, there was a piece of "Yu" that had never been demolished. "King Monument".
Songzi told us that the existing stele was actually restored by many directors of the "Hanyang General Chamber of Commerce" in the early years of the Republic of China. The original inscription had long been knocked away, and only a bearer of the stele was left on the original site. The beast. Only half of the turtle shell and four legs of this beast were left. The head and tail were damaged either due to robbery or war. So the Hanyang General Chamber of Commerce at that time simply shoveled the Bixi beast into a square seat, and erected a new one according to the records of the rubbings of King Yu's stele in the history books.
Songzi said that the key is that the original undamaged part of the Monument of King Yu was erected in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of years earlier than the time when the predecessor buried things, so the predecessor at that time must have been the same as we are today. Again, this place was chosen, but Songzi guessed that he finally chose it under the Monument of King Yu. This was the reason why he left the words "Dayu Controlled Floods" under the word "Charming".
After Songzi said this, he did feel gentler. So I asked him, is that why you chose to dig in the sewer? How do you know you'll find it? Songzi said that it was definitely impossible on the ground. Even if there was one, it would have been found long ago. It is impossible that the senior had not anticipated this situation. Therefore, it must be underground, and it must be within ten meters directly below the Monument of King Yu. There is a depth standard for the laying of underground pipes in the city, and it will not affect the load-bearing of the ground. Since the inscription is still there, it means that there are no pipes directly below, which means that as long as you follow the pipe to find the nearby area, you can see it from the side. Dig over and get to the bottom of the inscription.
I was stunned and stunned. I deeply admire Songzi’s insights and speculations on these folk cultures. Even though he is not silent about the world, he is still so much younger than me.
