Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

The news of the failure of the Diannan fight was like a massive plague, spreading from Yunnan to Beijing, causing countless uproars in the places it passed.

"What did you say? He's dead?"

The messenger was taken aback by these words. The person in front of him heard the sad news of his relative's death for the first time. He neither cried nor grieved, but was angry, cold from the inside out.

Tong Mei flicked away the unburned tobacco leaf in his hand, sat up slightly and said, "Say it again, who is dead?"

"It belongs to Tong, the head of the Tong family...Mr. Tong Jiu, although the body has not been found, it has been confirmed that there are no signs of life."

Tong Mo twitched the corners of his mouth strangely: "So your Shang family's trip to Nannan Dou was completely wiped out?"

"Yes, the follow-up excavation and rescue are still in progress, but so far no survivors have been found, so Mr. Tong Jiu may..."

"He's going to die? Stop joking." Tong Mei squinted his eyes, and blurted out cold words, "I think it's Mr. Shang who has been very idle recently. If you want to use this kind of joke to make a gimmick, save yourself, even if you Shang family They're all dead, and my cousin won't die either."

The messenger opened and closed his mouth, not knowing what to say.Tong Mo snorted coldly, pulled up his coat and got up.

"Hey? You, where are you going?"

"Go to Shang's house and see how you deal with the follow-up work. By the way, do an autopsy and dig up my brother's remains. Do you have any opinions?"

"Of course not! I'll take you there right away."

Taihe Hospital.

The master went to the vegetable market today and saw that the new crucian carp in the store was good. He boiled a pot of crucian carp soup and took it to the hospital to send to his eldest brother.He only cooks it once in thousands of years, and the taste is really not flattering, but the freshness of the ingredients can be added points.

In the organization, things like cooking soup and cooking have always been the princess's specialty. Now that something happened to the princess, his bar veteran's shop has run out of food one after another. Until now... the master sighed, it has been a week Yes, the princess was also transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward, but because of her serious injuries, she was still awake. The eldest brother was guarding the bed day and night, and he was all thin and out of shape.

Thinking of this, the master quickened his pace and trotted all the way to the ward without taking the elevator.

As soon as he walked to the door of the ward, the elder brother shouted hoarsely with excitement, the master's heart jumped, and he walked over in three steps at a time, and saw the person who had been unconscious for many days on the hospital bed unexpectedly opened his eyes.

Li Qiu just woke up, seeing that their eyes are still slightly blurred.The eldest brother hugged him excitedly, and after a while, Li Qiu finally regained his senses, and silently said "I'm sorry" with moist eyes.

"I'm sorry, you boy," the master was also excited, he didn't want the fish head soup and moved forward, "As long as people are fine, if you save your life, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood, ah."

"I... how long have I been asleep..."

"Hey, it's been a whole week, it's really worrying to consume your eldest brother!"

Li Qiu moved his eyes when he heard the words, looking at his brother who was close at hand, the tip of his nose was slightly sour.

The eldest brother rubbed his head, although he didn't say anything, his eye circles were also red.

When Li Qiu was rescued, there were dozens of fractures and injuries, and the exposed skin was tortured by high temperature and friction, and he was lying on the bed like a mummy.

Unable to move, he blinked and repeated his apology to his relatives over and over again.

"Anyway, it's good to survive, and the most important thing is to survive."

"The doctor said that you need to heal your injury for at least half a year, otherwise you will suffer from the root cause of the disease when you get older."

The master and the eldest brother said comforting words one after another, Li Qiu listened quietly, and after listening for a long time, he opened his mouth softly: "...What about him?"

The eldest brother wondered: "Who?"

The master reacted quickly, and immediately said: "Are you talking about the person you recited?"

Li Qiu hurriedly nodded his head with difficulty.

"Hey, he, he's fine, his injury is much lighter than yours." Seeing Li Qiu's eyes showing doubts, the master said a few more words: "Although he hasn't woken up yet, his physical signs are not stable, relax. I feel better."

Li Qiu's eyes fluctuated secretly, and soon he breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes drooped slightly, as if his whole heart had been put back in his stomach.How could the eldest brother fail to see his reaction, and frowned, "Ali, do you know who that person is?"

Li Qiu looked at his elder brother weakly.

"I checked. He has a pair of obsidian earrings. He is the head of the Tong family, the famous Tong Jiu?"

Li Qiu paused, then nodded calmly.

The master secretly said "lying on the grass" and jumped up from the chair: "Princess, are you not dizzy? What are you doing to save him? That Tong Jiu was hired by the Shang family to deal with us, he is our enemy."

Li Qiu didn't speak, but raised his left hand full of needles with all his strength, and touched his elder brother: "...save him."

"Princess, you..."

The elder brother pondered for a while: "Ali, did something happen between you and him?"

Li Qiu reluctantly nodded, but did not explain, just repeated "save him" urgently.

The eldest brother stared fixedly at the younger brother who had escaped from death, and he had thousands of questions in his heart like the master, but he also knew that now was not the best time to continue asking questions.

"Okay, I see. Since this is a hospital, let's not talk about our position and identity. He is here, and we will provide him with the best treatment. With his current physical condition, he will definitely not die." The elder brother comforted Rubbing Li Qiu's bandage-wrapped head, he smiled in relief: "Now you can rest assured, right?"

Li Qiu nodded gratefully, obediently called "Big Brother", and soon fell asleep again exhausted.

When Li Qiu woke up, he was out of danger, everyone's hanging heart was finally put back in their stomachs, and they stopped guarding the bedside for 24 hours, and returned to their respective positions.Taihe Hospital is the private hospital of Feng Tianjiao's family, it is their half base camp, as long as they tell them, they will have as many escorts and doctors as they need.

Half a month later, Li Qiu could get out of bed in a wheelchair, but he didn't go anywhere, he didn't even take a breath of fresh air outside, so he couldn't wait to come to his next door, Tong Jiu's ward.

After such a long time, Tong Jiu's condition became a bit strange. The doctor told Li Qiu that the trauma of the patient's whole body had healed, and no problems were found in the internal organs and brain, but the person was strangely unconscious, no, Not a coma, but more like a deep sleep.

"Not only that." Xiao Li, the doctor in charge of Tong Jiu, took out a stack of complicated data reports and showed them to Li Qiu. "The patient's wound healing speed is too fast, which has far exceeded the normal concept of metabolism or tissue regeneration. Also, this is his blood report. Look, the patient's blood is undergoing rare mutations..."

Doctor Xiao didn't care whether Li Qiu could understand or not, and took a deep breath: "Anyway, these situations are unheard of. The hospital has held consultations several times, but they were helpless. Dean Feng said, you are the direct guarantee of this patient. People, so I want to ask for your opinion, whether to consider inviting more well-known experts to diagnose and treat."

"Thank you, Doctor Xiao, but... no need, please keep the patient's privacy and keep this information confidential."

Li Qiu politely declined the doctors' further examination, but to be on the safe side, he still used Feng Tianjiao's privilege to keep this special patient in the intensive care unit so that he could take care of him at any time.

When Li Qiu's health improved, he dismissed the nurse and took care of him himself.

This time, there was no nightmarish purgatory of death, no forced confrontation and tit-for-tat, he could finally observe this man seriously for the first time.

Unfamiliar appearance, familiar atmosphere, except that there is no teasing and toughness when they meet.Tong Jiu in front of him closed his breathtaking eyes, lying quietly on the hospital bed, his steady and real breathing spreading in the air.

Li Qiu hesitated for a moment, stretched out his scarred fingers covered with gauze, and gently stroked Tong Jiu's warm and smooth cheek.

"It turns out that you look like this."

The rough gauze slowly moved along Tong Jiu's jaw, moved to those shoulders full of strength, and moved to the thin arms covered with thin muscles.Li Qiu stroked very carefully, looking at the man's intact skin all over his body, and at the same time remembered how Tong Jiu was covered in blood when the explosion happened.

Sure enough, it is the influence of Changsheng Xie.

Li Qiu blinked silently, and finally lay quietly and obediently on the head of the bed, repeatedly looking at this sleeping man, this man who is still a stranger until now, but has quietly changed his life's destiny.

"Your name is Tong Jiu... Which Jiu is it, eight or nine, or long Jiu?"

"I have heard of your name for a long time, the patriarch of the Tong family, the celebrity of the three great families, and the leading fighting god in the world."

"A powerful person like you was recruited by the Shang family to deal with the organization, but you know how scared I was... how scared the first time."

"Why...why did you save me?"

In the quiet ward, there was only the cold ticking in the infusion bottle, but there was no question in the answer.

"Why...you don't hesitate to sacrifice your own life to save me."

You, who are so high in the altar, desperately protect a humble and ordinary me, no matter what, I can't understand it.

"Heal your injuries now, and when you wake up, tell me the answer, okay?"

……

Since then, Taihe Hospital has added a special nurse to bed 702.It is special, because the nurse himself is a patient who has not yet recovered from his injuries, and there is only one person he takes care of, which is bed 702.

The doctors and nurses of Taihe Hospital often saw him, sometimes cleaning the sheets, sometimes changing the water, silently guarding the bedside, and never leaving him day and night.

Every day, he scrubbed the patient's body, turned over, and massaged the muscles and joints. The rest of the time, he stared at the patient in a daze.Occasionally talking to myself, carefully preparing some home-cooked food, then cooling it down during the long wait, pouring it out, and quietly replacing it with a new one.

Two months passed, and the patients in bed 702 showed no signs of waking up. Although all the indicators were good, and they were not sick or injured, they were still in a deep sleep.

Li Qiu was silent for more and more time, and took care of him more and more carefully, so that the patients in bed 702 were hospitalized for so long, but they did not show any symptoms of long-term bed rest, and the doctors and nurses were stunned.

Not long after being hospitalized, Li Qiu asked his master to get a detailed document about Tong Jiu.He knew very little about this man. Even if he had a life-and-death friendship, he couldn't deny that without this accident, he would know nothing about this savior.

Tong Jiu is low-key and mysterious, and all the information collected is only a few pages.

Li Qiu stayed in the ward, silently reciting materials about Tong Jiu amidst the sound of the electric current from the instrument.After reading a paragraph, look at the person in front of you, then overlap with it, and remember it carefully in your heart.

——Tong Jiu, whose age and birth are unknown, was elected as the heir to the patriarch when he was 17 years old, and he has held the position until now.

——With a withdrawn personality, he lives alone and has little contact with the outside world except for business and employment. Because of his effective cooperation, he has been highly respected by the three families in recent years.Every time she shows up, she uses a mask to show others, and uses obsidian earrings as a sentence.

Not gregarious, likes to go alone, but acts safely, and is deeply trusted by everyone... Li Qiu repeatedly savored the information implied by the information, and continued to read along the content: It is known that the relatives of the clan have a cousin.

Have relatives?Li Qiu read the information about Tong Mei back and forth twice, and slowly saw something: Although this Tong Jiu seemed unfriendly, he was very tolerant towards his younger brother and the family he recognized, so he was not affectionate, But love?

if it is like this……

Li Qiu raised his head, staring blankly at the sleeping person on the hospital bed, his chest was beating suddenly at this moment.

"In front of the longevity screen, you said you liked me..."

After closing the file, Li Qiu deeply calmed his restless heart, and touched the face that had been painted for many days and nights again.

"Do you like mine? Then...then I'll wait for you to wake up. This time, let's start over and let me respond to your feelings, okay?"

+ + +

Finally one day, the eldest brother got the news from nowhere, and came to the hospital again. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Qiu sleeping beside Tong Jiu's bed.The eldest brother was silent for a while, then went back out and went to the attending physician.

"Really, he does this every day..."

"He just guards the patient and hardly communicates with other people?"

"What about the patient's condition? Has it improved?"

Li Qiu didn't sleep well, no matter day or night, he would wake up almost every two hours to observe Tong Jiu's condition.So as soon as he opened his eyes and saw his elder brother crossing his arms outside the door, Li Qiu knew what was going on, and obediently followed his elder brother to the next ward.

"A Li." The eldest brother called him, scratched his head, but didn't know where to start: "...you plan to stay here forever?"

Li Qiu lowered his eyes awkwardly.

"Tong Boy looks like this, neither good nor bad. But you, go home as soon as you recover from your injury. Don't waste yourself in the hospital all the time. Master Bird and the others are very worried about you."

"Brother, I want to accompany him."

"You never thought about it, what if he stays awake?" The elder brother shook his head helplessly, "It's been two months, and the doctor said that there is no improvement at all. It's not that the elder brother said you. If he stays like this all his life, you will Guarding him for the rest of his life and doing nothing? You said he saved you, so I can understand, I have been silent these days, but after all, he is our enemy, and it is the best of humanity to do this."

After a moment of silence, Li Qiu bit his lips: "Brother, I still want to accompany him."

"Oh, you have such a temper..."

"sorry."

The elder brother stretched out his big hand and rubbed him, "What is there to be sorry for? The elder brother just persuaded you, but didn't say that you are really forbidden."

Li Qiu grabbed his elder brother's palm instead, and said guiltily: "No, big brother, I failed to bring back the longevity screen, I destroyed the longevity screen."

"Hey, so that's what happened." The eldest brother flicked his forehead angrily, "What's the big deal for me? If it's ruined, it's ruined. If I knew that such an accident would happen, I didn't say anything at the time. Agreeing to let you participate in this vote, what is the longevity screen, your life is not as important."

"Brother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, the longevity screen...the longevity screen is gone."

"I said that there is no need to apologize, and besides, that Changshengping is the old man Shangwei..." The elder brother stopped abruptly, and couldn't help regretting his rashness. You must know that the Shang family, Shangwei, and Shang Yanyu have always been the same for seven years. The demons that Li Qiu can't get rid of, they usually have to pay attention to keeping their mouths shut in front of Li Qiu, and they can't even mention it.

Unexpectedly, this time, Li Qiu was neither panicked nor hysterical, but looked at his elder brother calmly and apologetically: "That being said, everyone has worked hard for the Changsheng Screen for so long, but because of my mistake, it was all in vain. ……sorry."

"Ah? Ah, it's okay, I said you don't have to worry about it." The eldest brother patted him on the shoulder, and was pleasantly surprised by the younger brother's change, but after thinking about it, he was still full of doubts.Why did Ali's many years of heart knots be untied all of a sudden after staying in the hospital?

Li Qiu glanced at the electronic clock on the wall, "It's been a while, brother, have you eaten yet? I'll accompany you to the cafeteria downstairs to have something to eat."

"well."

With the elder brother's permission, Li Qiu went back to the ward, arranged Tong Jiuzai carefully, checked the transfusion and tucked in the quilt.Then I called the nurses on duty and asked them to pay attention, and I will come back soon after going out by myself.

The eldest brother stared at Li Qiu doing everything in an orderly manner, and suddenly a strong thought that was hard to describe came to his mind.

"Ali, you have changed."

Li Qiu's back was startled inadvertently, and he lost his mind: "Is there?"

"Yes, you have become... calmer and restrained, making it difficult for elder brother to guess."

Li Qiu grinned self-deprecatingly, and opened the ugly scars on the palms and backs of his hands that had not healed: "It was said in the book that once a person has experienced life and death, he will become enlightened, which probably refers to me."

"If that's the case, I'd like to thank the head of the Tong family. Don't worry, take your time. I'll go downstairs to smoke a cigarette and wait for you."

"Ah."

Looking at the back of the eldest brother who was gradually going away, Li Qiu lowered his hands, and the shame in his eyes was overflowing.

"I'm sorry big brother, Changsheng Screen, there will never be another one."

Secrets make people heavy, but also make people grow.

+ + +

Days passed, and everyone's life slowly returned to the right track. Only bed 702 in Taihe Hospital and the accompanying person in front of the bed remained unchanged.

In midsummer, Dr. Xiao called Li Qiu and his eldest brother, and brought them the first good news in a long time: the patient began to show signs of awakening in the past two days.

However, before Li Qiupo broke into a smile, Doctor Xiao's words immediately threw him into the bottomless abyss.

"Amnesia!?"

"Yes, although it's just a speculation about the pathology, I'm afraid there is more than 80% possibility. I hope you will be mentally prepared in advance."

All kinds of scans were piled up in front of Li Qiu, Li Qiu's eyes were dazzled, and he couldn't see anything at all.

"You mean, he'll lose all his memory when he wakes up?"

The elder brother patted him on the shoulder: "Ali, calm down and listen to what the doctor has to say."

Doctor Xiao knew Li Qiu well, so he could only give a formulaic answer: "I can't guarantee this. The loss of memory may be only a part, or it may be all. This will not be concluded until the patient wakes up for further examination."

Li Qiu's expression turned gray all of a sudden, as if he had lost all color, the elder brother politely rejected Dr. Xiao's comfort, closed the door, and restored the silence in the room.

"Ali, don't tell me you're in love with him."

Seeing that Li Qiu didn't respond in a daze, the eldest brother sighed, got up and left, "Although it's a bit unexpected, but if you think about it, this may be the best ending, both for you and him."

The moment the door was closed, Li Qiu's tears slid down.

Isn't it reasonable to be with a person day in and day out, and fall in love with him based on his feelings.

It's just that when he worked hard, balanced efforts, and came to the same position as Tong Jiu at that time, when he thought he could finally respond to this feeling, he was told that the other end of the feeling was ruthlessly written off.

How ironic and how fair.

That day, he sat in front of the hospital bed all night, silently peeling an uneaten fruit for the sleeping patient as usual.When dawn came again, Li Qiu left the last plate of rabbit apples and left Taihe Hospital.

You might be better off without me.

Without that person in his life, he returned to his long-lost home and tea house, picking up his old life one by one.

Only this time, he didn't enjoy long peace.

After waking up, Tong Jiu was discharged from the hospital. Not long after he left, he left Taihe Hospital with a blank memory.

Li Qiu was worried, so he hurriedly searched, and soon found Tong Jiu's whereabouts.After amnesia, Tong Jiu has changed a lot, wandering and doing whatever he wants, muddling along and wandering around.

Li Qiu followed from a distance, watched him from a distance, and found that he was wandering, distressed and entangled.Because Tong Jiu completely forgot the memory with him, so he was still unable to go forward, and followed in the distance day by day amidst the contradictions.until--

"The Shang family has a lot of eyeliner lately. Is the follow-up work of Diannan Dou finally taking shape?"

"Hey, it took half a year to get an idea. Their efficiency is really high."

"Who knows, I heard that they insisted to the outside world that it was Tong Jiu who was black and white in the fight and blamed the whole world. It's very interesting."

"Talking about those guys... Hey princess, where are you going?"

"I... I'm going out for a walk."

Leaving the party in a hurry, he couldn't wait to find Tong Jiu, only to find that Tong Jiu was sitting in a place called "Ajiu Western Restaurant". Don't leave.

When the hungry Tong Jiu sipped half a cup of milk for the third time and was reluctant to drink it, Li Qiu finally couldn't bear it, and pushed the door to break into that person's world.

……

"I'm here to have a blind date with you."

"We are... lovers."
