I looked at the emergency room, the indicator light was still on, and it was estimated that Xiaoxue would not come out for a while, so I said hello to the nurse on duty and went out.
The car stopped on the side of the main entrance of the emergency department, the door of the trunk was open, Wang Ying hugged her shoulders, separated from the trunk by some distance, and looked at the trunk with a curious and somewhat frightened look.
When I took a closer look, I was shocked.
"Why are you here?"
I looked at the old jailer who had gobbled up bread in the cave, and at the mess of vomit and a black broken canvas in the trunk, and asked in surprise, "Have you been hiding in our trunk all this time?"
His mouth was so stuffed with bread that he couldn't speak, and he nodded as he fell out of his mouth.
Wang Ying pursed her lips in disgust and handed him a bottle of mineral water, "You eat slowly, don't choke, although this is a hospital, I can save you in time if I choke, but in case you die." ” Then Wang Ying turned her head to look at me and asked me what was going on with this old man, saying that she had just opened the trunk and wanted to get something, but she saw the black canvas move, and as soon as she opened it, she found the old man, and she initially thought it was a corpse.
I briefly told Wang Ying about the old man, but I didn't understand, why did he follow us, and when Wang Ying took Xiaoxue's backpack from the trunk, he didn't even notice him Wang Ying told me that she was in a hurry at that time, and she didn't look carefully at all, the black canvas was originally placed on the car, who would have thought that there was a thin little old man wrapped in it It was only after the old man had swallowed the bread in his mouth that he told me what was going on.
At that time, like those black-robed people, he was beaten out by the Zheng family, of course, because he was very familiar with the cave, and he was not a member of the Liumang Sect, so he couldn't fight for them.
He ran to the town, but suddenly found that he was completely homeless, with no way out, what if he escaped?
It was a dead end in front of him, until he saw the three of us sneaking into the town and walking towards the alley where he was hiding, and he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, so he hid in a family's house.
It just so happened that the house he casually hid in was the same old Tian family where we stole the mule.
So I returned the mule, and when I turned around, I saw a figure slipping into Lao Tian's house, not because I was dazzled, but because the old man had not yet figured out whether to show up or not, he was afraid that we would kill him as a member of the Six Mangjiao Sect, and he hid before I found him.
Then he followed us quietly, and when we walked on the main road, he slipped along the wall and walked the path, and we walked down the small road to the cornfield, and he shuttled through the cornfield.
Xiaoxue rested several times along the way, and the old man also heard some of the conversations between the three of us, so he felt that we were not wicked people who killed people without blinking, and maybe they wouldn't do anything to him.
Coupled with the fact that the only person he knew now was me, he made up his mind to follow us secretly, and he thought that I would not die for him, and besides, he also knew something about Linzi that I wanted to know.
Speaking of this, his expression was very cunning, and he was all pitiful before.
I didn't interrupt him, he took a sip of water and continued.
Later, I put Xiaoxue in the back seat of the car, and while the trunk was open, he took the opportunity to get into the trunk and hide behind the black canvas, and when I closed the trunk, I didn't expect that there would be anyone inside, and just like that, he followed us on the road.
The strange smell I smelled in the car was the smell of the old man, and the smell of motion sickness and vomit caused by his discomfort in the car.
I actually heard him when he vomited, but at that time, I would never have thought that there were other people in the car, so I thought it was a strange sound made by Xiaoxue talking in her sleep, because Xiaoxue was really babbling gibberish at that time.
It wasn't until Wang Ying came to the car to pick up something and see what was in the trunk by the way, and when he lifted the canvas, he found the old man, after last night, this morning, he was already hungry and thirsty, so he asked Wang Ying for food.
This is the cause and effect of the old man following us, after listening to his words, I looked at Wang Ying, only to see that she was frowning, and she was looking at me with the same hesitant eyes.
What should we do with this old man "Then what do you mean by following us, and what do you want?"
I asked.
Upon hearing my question, he smiled with a sly smile of satisfaction.
"Look, I have something you want to know, and you can just help me live, but I don't want much, so let's go home with you, you can find something to do for me, so that I can have something to eat, a place to sleep, if I can give me a cigarette to smoke, thank God, I will definitely burn incense for you every day, I can promise not to cause you trouble."
Isn't that just up to me?
I smiled bitterly and said to the old man, "You must know that I have no home, and I usually sleep in the morgue." ” He was obviously unprepared for my answer, blinking his eyes, "The morgue is just sleeping with the dead, that's fine, I can still help you carry the dead or something." ” I was very helpless, "I said uncle, don't you joke, okay, that's my job, what's the matter with you?"
He pouted, "Then you don't want to know about your good brother."
In fact, I have met people like him, and even if I met his demands, he would not say half a word about what I wanted to know.
Because for him, that is his lifeline, the only trump card in his hand, and he must have thought this clearly along the way.
"You can say it if you want to, forget it if you don't want to say it, it doesn't matter."
I said coldly, "If you think you can blackmail me like this, then you are wrong." ” He was stunned for two seconds, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm like this, how can I threaten you to look at me like this." ” He spread his hands, "People like me are afraid of even a little sunshine, let alone these high-rise buildings, and so many people, this is hell for me, I just want to live, and it won't pose any threat to you, if you don't want to help me, it's okay, I can't put a knife on your neck."
Hey, but three days, I won't live more than three days. ” His tone and demeanor were desperate, and if he was really left here, it would be like throwing a man into a tiger hole in a zoo.
"Well, in that case, I have an idea."
Wang Ying said suddenly.
The next shift is around 22:30 t1706231537:
