Chapter 28: There are no fairy tales
I immediately called Xiao Mei and the phone was turned off.
I got anxious and called the store to ask and learned that Xiao Mei had gone home at 4:30 pm. This silly girl, she is going to give me food. I called Xiaomei's sister, Xiaomei's sister said Xiaomei had left the house half an hour ago to come to the hospital.
She asked me what was wrong, I didn't answer, but my heart sank.
Xue Rui also asked me what was wrong, I shook my head and returned to my room in my wheelchair. Pulling open the curtains, the November sunset filtered in along the glass window, warming the dusk that was about to plunge into the icy night. I looked at the city bathed in the light of gold, and thought in my heart, perhaps I no longer belong to this bland world, the veil of warmth was lifted, and a bloody real world was about to unfold in front of me, escaping, definitely not the best way.
My heart to that "uncle", rose up endless killing intent, this killing intent cold and harsh, just like the ice cream in winter.
I stayed alone for a while, the door was knocked, Mrs. Li came in and asked if Xue Rui made me angry, the child has been crying. I sighed and said that Xue Rui's residual poison has been cleared, the rest of the conditioning, as well as the subsequent treatment, I am not capable of, it is best to help her hospitalization. She was surprised and asked why she had to be transferred to the hospital. I said my enemy to find the door open, he is a heartless guy, Xiaomei has been kidnapped by him, I'm afraid that you are involved again, it is best to immediately prepare to go.
Mrs. Li, who had never seen such a thing, asked a few questions and left in a hurry to contact the hospital.
I immediately called Officer Ouyang and told him about Xiao Mei's kidnapping, and he said he would immediately report it to the leadership, and immediately launch an arrest operation against "The Wolfman" - the nickname given to him by the task force - and asked me to get ready to leave. He said that he immediately reported to the leadership to immediately start the arrest of the "Wolfman" - the nickname given to the guy by the task force - and told me to stay calm and not to scare the snakes. I said I understood, and hoped that they would not be too exposed, so that the guy jumped over the wall and caused harm to Xiaomei.
I then called Xiao Keming again and asked him if he had any methods.
For this half-toned Taoist priest from Maoshan, although he also often dropped the ball and was greedy for money and sex, he was still quite sincere, so I generally still trusted him. He immediately gave me a reply, said don't worry, he cast the maoshan secret tracking technique to explore one or two, there will be results. Seeing him so boastful, I originally have a very good feeling about his heart, even more bottomless.
Then, I sat in front of the window and watched the setting sun sink into the steel forest, not saying a word. Xue Rui was pushed by her mother wheelchair over to say goodbye to me, we do not talk much, hastily wrote a few sentences, she said Lu Zuo master I can touch your face, I can not see you? I said yes, she stretched out her hands to touch, first touch the bridge of my nose, and then touched my scar, rubbing, she asked why are you crying? I said no, it is the sun's glare it.
She giggled and said, "You're lying, you're lying again, it's nighttime. She also said, can I worship you as a teacher? I said no, she asked why? I said I'm a person, may not be a few days to die - I have too many enemies, always inexplicably come out, like leeks, cut a crop of a long crop, very annoying. She then said she wanted to go back to worship master, looking for a master of metaphysics, learned to help me, asked me to worship who is good? I said I know fewer people, White Hesing - he published the most books, you can worship; otherwise, Huang Yi can also, his book I also read.
She said well, listen to the name, Huang Yi this person seems to be higher, I will worship him.
Listening to her speak in a serious manner, I seem to feel a little better in my heart.
Mrs. Lee came over to urge, she already know is that let me hospitalized guy again to seek revenge, very anxious. In her mind maybe I'm good enough, can make me so bad people, naturally very clever. The more people in high positions, the more afraid of death, she is now rich and peaceful, her daughter is seriously ill, naturally have no time to accompany me. We said goodbye, Xue Rui was reluctant to leave, Mrs. Li did not return. I leaned back and smiled, looking at the departing Xue Rui, wondering how much longer she would pass, out of the greenhouse, into the same as her mother, intellectual, beautiful but realistic noblewoman.
To be honest, I like her better now, but this world is hardly a fairy tale.
That night, my ICBC account was credited with half a million dollars, which was Xue Rui's consultation fee, and at the same time, my expenses for this hospitalization were also paid off by Mrs. Li, leaving me with an amount sufficient to stay in this high-class ward for three months.
Mrs. Li didn't leave for long, Officer Ouyang passed by, he wore civilian clothes and confirmed the news of Xiao Mei's disappearance with me.
He said that the above had drawn up a plan to utilize this opportunity to apprehend the werewolf. He also said that he had contacted the SWAT brigade of the nearby garrison, and that there were two groups of snipers on standby at all times. I said to be a fatal blow, to hit the head or the heart, or else not much damage to him. He laughed and said you have watched too much Resident Evil, right? I look at him seriously, my face stiffens and I say do you want me to show you something, other than science?
He shook his head and waved his hand repeatedly and said No, we have already contacted your counterpart in your hometown county - Ma Haibo, Vice Captain Ma, he mentioned your matter to me, so there is no need to try.
I cold face, said this dog said, mouth is not a door. He quickly said Lu Zuo, Lu Zuo, don't be anxious, we are also for your own good, the higher-ups talked about this matter, said that we want to hire you to be our consultant inside the bureau, so there is anything, we all cooperate with you. As for Ma Haibo, he is also a person in the system, friendship is friendship, discipline is discipline, he can not do anything.
I said, "What's the point of all this? I do not have the heart to retaliate against that old boy, first put Xiaomei out before.
Then we discussed, both feel a headache, the wolfman - well, I also call him the wolfman it - this guy is out of sight, and has a strong sense of anti-tracking, to find him too difficult, only by me to draw him out. After exchanging some matters, he handed me a button and said it was a tracker, so he could always find me when the time came, and after that, he left decisively.
Our conversation went on for ten minutes.
I took this button in my hand, threw it upwards and caught it.
This is the legendary tracker, I didn't expect to use this kind of thing in my uneventful life. However, it seemed as if it was many generations behind compared to the ones inside American dramas or Hollywood blockbusters.
I scrutinized it for a while and put it in my pants pocket.
Tonight, it seemed like it was going to bleed.
The night was dark.
********
November 21, 2007, 22:32 pm.
Suitable for nativity, contracting an alliance, offering sacrifices, and opening up the light; not suitable for marriage, opening a market, entering a house, or moving an apprentice.
I received a phone call, another unfamiliar number, and the werewolf told me to wait for him at an industrial park in South City. I turned him down straight away, as far as the here and now was concerned, thanks to him, I was a disabled person who couldn't even walk on his own, in a wheelchair, where could I go? He was a bit surprised and asked me why I was still not well. I said I am a human being, and you are not in the same circle, I was injured, broken ribs, have to recuperate, the injury is a hundred days, I am no exception.
He was silent, said Well, you wait for me in the hospital parking lot.
I said when, my caregiver is off duty, if now, I have to go to find someone to send me down, or trouble you to come up here? Don't worry, I don't have any police here. He didn't say anything, I thought he hung up, it was strange, after two feeds, his side picked up, "Fuck, you think I'm a courier?" After saying that he added: "You didn't call the police, did you?"
I asked Xiao Mei what happened, I need to talk to him to make sure it's safe.
He said yes, within a few seconds Xiao Mei's voice came from the other side of the phone, wailing and crying, saying Lu Zuo save me, Lu Zuo you come to save me ah. I comforted him for a few words, the phone was taken away, and the werewolf said, see you in ten minutes. He hung up the phone, and I heard the sound of a car. I took out the mp4 containing the information with the photocopies of the twelve methods, palm-sized, deleted some key places, such as the accompanying notes talking about solving the ape's corpse descending, such as some compulsion refining methods.
Then I put it down, put it in my pocket, and wait quietly.
Ten minutes later, the door was pushed open and a man came in. He was tall and thin, in his fifties, with a face of vicissitude and labor, wearing a very old red down jacket, with traces of dirt on his sleeves and next to his pockets. He held a piece of paper, saw me sitting in front of the window on the wheelchair, the room door plate, and then rubbed his hands and asked with a curt face: "Is Mr. Lu Zuo, I'm, I'm your uncle called over, let me push you to the bottom of the ......" He said a sentence of uttering a snorting, not Sharp, thick Sichuan accent, eyes subconsciously look down, inferiority complex, do not dare to look at me.
He is not a werewolf, not my cheap master uncle, obviously, that guy is worried about ambush, another person.
I looked at him, this kind of eyes I often see, in the bus wearing a sweaty smelly work clothes of middle-aged men, in front of the KFC store looking at the inside diners and fried chicken gulping skinny girl, in the pedestrian street side to see walking past the hot beauty fierce sniffing old bachelor ...... Many of them are my hometown, or with me the general origin, they Walking through the corners of this city, looking at the full of prosperity, struggling, hard to survive. Their today is my yesterday.
My heart could not help but soften, I said yes, it is me, where do we go, where is my uncle?
See me sure, he was very happy, said in the downstairs, in the downstairs, in addition to the hospital to the left, across the footbridge, where there is a grass sub, waiting for you there. I said well, uncle you help me push a little. He rubbed his hands and came over, his face red, said quickly do not call me uncle, I am a countryman, when it can not afford it, will be a loss of life, call me old Wang on good. I said I am also a countryman, you are more than a round older than me, can afford it. He laughed and opened his mouth to say something nice, but he didn't have the words. I asked him to bring my coat over, and then he helped me walk out.
A nurse in the hallway asked me, why are you going out now, does the doctor know, who is this man?
I said it was my uncle, pushing me out to get some air, and I'll be back later. This nurse is very familiar with the hairy Xiaodao, as if they also rolled sheets together, perhaps for the face of the old Xiao, or because I am a patient in the senior ward, said a couple of sentences, and did not ask about it again. I asked Lao Wang, said my uncle alone? What did he ask for? Old Wang hesitated and said alone.
I nodded and did not ask again. When taking the elevator, he did not press, I taught him, press here and there, how to get, he was careful, as if the lighted button is the newlywed mother-in-law, looks like a child-like curiosity. In the elevator, I asked him if he hadn't seen it before. He said that he had seen it, but the construction site is different from the one here, this is very extravagant, and that one is just a shelf. I said it's impossible, how long have you been to the south, have not seen this kind of elevator, he smiled and said that he had seen, not sat, but the supermarket inside the gliding elevator, once went to sit several times, a little dizzy. I laughed and said that the principle is the same.
Almost to the first floor, he suddenly asked me, that person is not your uncle, right?
I laughed and said how do you know. He said don't look at me as a countryman, I'm not a fool, how can an uncle want to meet his nephew and pay someone to find him out, meeting outside on a cold windy day? There is air conditioning inside, a few more comfortable it!
I said what did he say?
The old king said your uncle said if you call, you will take you to the grass inside, if not, you will take you out of the hospital building, to the back of the complex next to the garden there ...... young man, or I will send you back, I think that your uncle, not good people it, I can not help to do evil.
I said you push me to the side of the complex, all right.
Out of the building, there is some wind outside, wearing a coat, I still feel a little cold, wrap it tightly. I found that the old king's red down jacket is a little ill-fitting, too colorful, arm sleeves also reveal some feathers, black, obviously this is to pick up others to wear. To the corner of the complex, I said well, here. He said this is not good, one did not send you to, two, two, two ...... I laughed, said he promised to give you how much money? The old king said fifty, I gave him a hundred dollars from my purse and let him go.
He is a poor and embarrassed ordinary people, maybe at home or a pillar, I do not want him to have an accident.
The old king did not have money to make up, his face suffocated into a red, receive also not, do not receive also not, I put the money in his hand, closed, said go, fast. He took the money, said thank you Mr. Lu. I did not care about him again, forward and continue to walk.
I think if he looked back, he must have wondered why my wheelchair would go by itself.
In fact, there was a ghost doll behind me helping me push.
The wheelchair spins bone by bone.
