Chapter 21: You can scream all you want

I felt like I should only have a few flesh wounds, but Shen Wunian insisted on taking me to the hospital for an examination.

I thought it would be a nearby hospital, but he drove for an hour and took me to an international hospital that looked quite expensive.

As soon as I entered, I was stunned by the luxurious decor and sparse traffic inside.

Either …… or forget it. I said, wanting to go back.

Shen Wunian grabbed me by the waist and led me inside without saying a word: ‘Come all the way here, have a check-up before you go. This is the Liang family hospital, I have a card, there are discounts, you don’t have to spend any money.

‘…… How can you still have a card in the hospital? I was surprised to turn my face to look at him, this place is too empty, I just normal volume are very loud, can only consciously lower the voice, ‘How unlucky’.

I have severe migraines, I have to have regular medical checkups, and then prescriptions are issued based on the results of the medical checkups. Shen Wunian’s eyes were smiling, and what he said was neither true nor false.

He didn’t let me back out and pushed me half-compulsively into the consulting room.

With fewer people around, everything went very quickly, from the doctor’s visit to the film and back to the consulting room, all in all only half an hour.

Fortunately, no fracture. The doctor looked at the film on the computer and said: ‘It’s just that the haematoma is so bad now that it might affect your vision a little.

In the end, the doctor prescribed painkillers, ice packs and two ointments to stimulate the circulation and remove the blood stasis, and before he left, he also gave specific instructions that the ice packs should be used for the first 24 hours and the ointment 24 hours later.

Shen Wunian went to get the medicine and I waited for him on the sofa in the hall.

Although private hospitals are less crowded, they are not completely empty. Patients or nurses who pass in front of me almost always look at me curiously. These stares, though not malicious, made me feel uncomfortable.

I simply pulled up the hood of my duffle coat and lowered my face, hiding as much as possible in the shadows.

After staring at a small pattern on the carpet for a few minutes, a hand suddenly appeared in my blurred vision, covering the side of my face and gently lifting it.

Seeing my face, Shen Wunian was a little surprised, ‘It’s very brave this time, surprisingly it didn’t cry.

He rubbed his thumb over my face twice and let go, taking an ice pack out of the bag and handing it to me.

Be a good girl and put it on, we’re going home.

I don’t know which sentence or word hit me, obviously I was fine before, just feeling a bit tight in my heart, but I didn’t feel particularly sad or hurt, but as soon as he finished, my eyes suddenly started to heat up and my tears quickly overflowed my glands and I shook.

I grabbed the ice pack in my hand and hurriedly lowered my head to hide my tears from Shen Wunian.

The tears fell from my eyes one by one, hitting the floor silently, melting into the fuzz of the carpet and quickly disappearing without a trace, I tried to stop them, but they were completely out of my control and instead flowed even more fiercely. It’s like a gate that opens and can’t be closed again.

I finally cried out. Shen Wunian stepped forward and let me lean against him, his palm caressing the back of my head and spine, the gentle force calling me more and more sourly in my heart, ‘Okay, okay, just cry it out, it’s good to hold it in, it’s easy to hold it in and get sick.

I grabbed his coat and moved closer to him, ‘I didn’t steal anything.

I know.

I’m …… not for sale either. Inside I wasn’t even angry and hurt when I said the words, I just felt ridiculous.

The hand on my head was slapped, and after two seconds it came down again, and Shen Wunian said slowly, ‘Of course you are not. How can children be so rude now, come on, tell me who said those words ……’.

Just as Shen Wunian said, crying is good, I leaned into his arms and cried off and on for about ten minutes, the cause and effect of the story, after crying the heart really is not stuffy.

Quietly squeeze the eyes, I returned home with Shen Wunian together, the car is okay, in addition to some pain in the body did not feel anything else, but when the shower from the bathroom out, I was a little feverish signs.

Fortunately, not very high. Shen Wunian gave me a temperature, just a low fever, less than 38 ℃, ‘Eat something to rest early today.

‘Hmm.’ I nodded, my eyes didn’t know if it was from crying or being hurt, I was very tired and felt like I could fall asleep anytime, anywhere.

Shen Wunian just cooked spaghetti to share with me, and after I ate, he brought a cup of milk with honey for me to drink.

Over is eaten food blood sugar rise reason, I was already a little sleepy, after drinking milk simply can not even walk, all body muscles are like losing elasticity, loose, as if at any time, anywhere to lose consciousness.

My knees were weak, I was about to fall, Shen Wunian caught me in time: ‘Be careful.

He saw that I was so weak and powerless that I couldn’t even walk, so he bent down, picked me up by the waist and sent me into his room.

How am I going to sleep here ……,’ I can’t even open my eyes, but I still want to get up.

My room faces a quieter direction and has its own bathroom, so it’s convenient for you to get up at night. His strength was gentle and unresisting, pressing my chest and telling me to lie back down.

As soon as my head hit the pillow, my consciousness began to fade rapidly and I tried to open my eyes to hear what Shen Wunian was saying, but all I could hear was a blur.

I have to go out later …… I’ve taken your mobile phone …… don’t think about anything, sleep well …… ‘.

Eyes covered by a large hand, Shen Wunian’s voice continued in the darkness.

You must take good care of your body before you can ……’ The last three words he said softly and slowly, ‘for me.

My ears were filled with pitiful screams, one after the other, making me feel as if I were in the eighteen levels of hell, unable to control my shaking and cowering.

On a blood-like background, a white figure with long demonic horns violently grabbed a black lump on the ground and kept smashing it to the ground.

Help …… help …… help …… help ……’ The black shadow couldn’t stop begging for mercy, but he couldn’t soften half of the white shadow’s heart.

He picked up the black shadow’s head and came to his ear to ask quietly, ‘Do you know it’s wrong?

Do you know ……? I know it’s wrong! The black shadow was busy nodding his head and apologising with a mouth full of blood, ‘Yes …… I’m sorry ……’

The white shadow laughed, the black shadow was about to breathe a sigh of relief, and in the next second, the white shadow grabbed him roughly by the hair and shoved his entire head into a bucket.

The white shadow then flicked a switch and the bucket rattled and began to flush. The bucket made a gurgling sound and all of the black shadow’s screams were carried away by the water.

But your voice still says you’re not wrong. The white shadow counted the minutes and pulled the black shadow out of the bucket.

Don’t fight… really don’t fight… let go, let me go…’ the black shadow cried out in pain as he lay on the ground, shaking as if he had lost his strength.

The white shadow straightened up and removed something from his wrist, holding it between his palms.

I’m just getting started and you can’t?” he kicked Black Shadow’s chest, looking at the other man condescendingly, “Do that to someone else’s stuff for a hundred thousand dollar watch. He clenched his five fingers, clenching the object in his palm even tighter, ‘How many times can that three million plus watch hit you?

The black shadow clutched his head in horror and started screaming like he was scared to death before he could get hit.

Scream. Don’t worry, I’ve redone the soundproofing in here, no one will hear you. The white shadow’s pronunciation had a velvety texture to it, beautiful, soft and full of magnetism, but the content of the words was diametrically opposed to sinister and maniacal.

You can scream in misery all you want. Having said that, he licked his lips and raised his own fist high into the air, dropping it menacingly against the dark figure.

I jerked awake, my heart beating fast and my body sweating profusely. It was as if I had had another nightmare, but like many dreams, I woke up and forgot about it, with only vague impressions in my mind and no details.

With the curtains drawn, it was pitch black around me, and I glanced at my bedside alarm clock, it was already four in the morning.

A little thirsty, I propped myself up and sat up, switching on the bedroom light with the intention of going to the kitchen to get some water to drink.

My body wasn’t on fire anymore, just a little weakness and the feeling that my brain wasn’t spinning.

My eyes seemed swollen, my right field of vision was completely squeezed into a slit, and there were dark bruises all over my body, a clear indication of the violence I had suffered yesterday.

I opened the door to my room and was walking barefoot across the living room when a cold wind suddenly blew into my face.

On the wind was the familiar, sweet, sweet smell of fragrant flowers.

I looked into the wind and saw Shen Wunian leaning against the window in the faint light of dawn, wearing a thin black shirt with the top two buttons loosely undone, revealing the small half of his collarbone.

His cheeks, his collarbones, including the knuckles where he held his cigarette, were almost clotted, dark red blood, and even a few drops were stained on his glasses.

I looked at him, he happened to look over, probably not expecting me to wake up at this point, froze for a moment. But he quickly regained his senses, stubbed out his cigarette, closed the window and, coming towards me, took a handkerchief from the table to wipe his hands.

You’re up early,’ he felt my forehead, ‘no more fever. Do you want something to eat?

His hands were cold with the morning, and I involuntarily winced.

What a heavy smell of blood, I wrinkled my nose and thought to myself, I’m afraid there’s more blood on his body than I can see with my naked eyes.

I’m not hungry, just a little thirsty. I looked towards the kitchen, ‘Killing fish again?

Shen Wunian smiled and narrowed his eyes, holding my hand as he walked towards the bedroom, ‘Yes, Grandpa just caught it at night, it’s especially big, an even bigger fish than last time.

The kitchen’s a bit of a mess, don’t go in there, I’ll take you to the water.

He pushed me back into bed and soon returned to the bedroom with a glass of water. He also had a white pill in his hand.

It’s a painkiller, take it and your body won’t hurt any more.

I whispered my thanks, took the pill from him and, without thinking, put it in my mouth and swallowed it with the warm water.

Indeed, soon my body didn’t hurt any more, and when drowsiness returned, Shen Wunian turned off the light and tucked me in, telling me to get another good night’s sleep.

I obediently closed my eyes, remembering that there was something important I hadn’t said, and stubbornly propped them open again.

When you kill a fish …… before you kill it, you have to stun it before you kill it,’ I said with a big tongue. Or hit it with a knife to stun it, or …… it will splash blood everywhere ……’.

Shen Wunian’s hand was on the overhead light Shen Ruonian’s hand was on the switch of the overhead light and he nodded his head in an instructive manner, ‘It’s true that it splashes everywhere and it’s not easy to clean up. I will be more careful next time. Having said that, with a ‘bang’ the whole room went dark and he left the bedroom.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear him talking to someone on the phone outside.

Hello? Do me a favour General Liang …… has a small, situation ……’
