Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

The weather in Beijing is getting colder and colder, and winter has just passed by. Taihe Hospital is still the same, deserted and far away from the city.

After Li Qiu started to take care of Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu's condition quickly improved, her high fever subsided, and she was transferred to the general ward.Time seems to go back to a year ago, the same Taihe Hospital, the same patients, and the same escorts.It has become a habit for Li Qiu to take care of Ah Jiu, and he is not afraid to do it again.

Fortunately, the obsidian earrings seemed to have a great relieving effect on the pupil technique. This time Ah Jiu woke up after being in a coma for about a week.That day, Li Qiu was moistening Ah Jiu's lips with a cotton swab, when he saw the eyelashes of the man who had been sleeping for many days tremble, and slowly opened his eyes.

Li Qiu put down his hands in surprise, and hurried to the hospital bed.Ah Jiu was dazed for a while, his eyes slowly rolled around, and finally fixed on Li Qiu's face.

"Ah Jiu, you're awake!"

Ah Jiu stared at him for a few seconds, stretched out his hand stiffly, Li Qiu blinked, moved forward, and was hugged by the person on the bed in the next second.

Li Qiu was stunned, but soon understood, and stroked Ah Jiu's back one by one.

"It's okay, thank you for coming to save me, thank you for being willing to go home."

Ah Jiu buried her head in Li Qiu's neck, took a deep breath, and didn't say a word.Li Qiu was so distressed that it almost melted, and in this posture, he hugged Ah Jiu for a long time, making up for the separation and regret of just a few days.

I don't know how long it took for Li Qiu to feel satisfied, but as soon as he separated, Ah Jiu chased after him in surprise, and hugged him tightly again.Li Qiu couldn't help but carefully looked at Ah Jiu who had woken up - listless, weak and lethargic, completely a serious patient who was bedridden.Only Ah Jiu grasped his hand tightly and firmly, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Ah Jiu? Is there something wrong with you? Let me call the doctor over."

"..."

"Ah Jiu, do you still recognize me?"

"..."

No matter what he asked, Ah Jiu kept silent and didn't respond. Li Qiu panicked and wanted to call someone when he got up.But Ah Jiu grabbed him tightly and didn't allow him to take half a step away.As a last resort, Li Qiu could only ring the first aid device on the bedside.

The doctors came soon, examining the patient nervously.But even during the inspection, Ah Jiu also grabbed Li Qiu's clothes, and Li Qiu was worried about irritating him, so he had to stay aside obediently.

However, after several inspections, no reason could be found. There was no external injury, and the person was awake, but he just didn't speak strangely.Li Qiu and the doctors tried their best, but they couldn't make Ah Jiu speak a word. In addition, Ah Jiu's spirit was weak and listless, so he could only temporarily judge it as mental aphasia.

Li Qiu was so distressed that he didn't know what happened to Ah Jiu that night. He tried several times to go to Shang's house again, but all failed—since Ah Jiu opened his eyes and saw Li Qiu, he couldn't leave Wherever he and Li Qiu went, Ah Jiu's idiotic eyes followed closely, like the impression of a newborn chick.

He didn't speak, just stared at Li Qiu, as soon as Li Qiu left Ah Jiu's sight, he would attract the latter to search frantically.Once when Li Qiu went to the supermarket downstairs while Ah Jiu was asleep, Ah Jiu couldn't see him when he woke up, so he dragged the needle and rushed to the five floors, making the hospital jump up and down, and people turned their backs.

From then on, Feng Tianjiao unceremoniously imposed a ban on Li Qiu, and ordered him not to take a single step out of Ah Jiu's ward as the director of Taihe Hospital.

Days passed, Ah Jiu still showed no signs of recovery, the first thing he did every day when he opened his eyes was to search for Li Qiu all over the world.Facing Ah Jiu like this, Li Qiu also became worried, not like amnesia, nor like being possessed by evil spirits, but he just couldn't explain the strangeness of the unknown.One day or two is fine, but it is quite stressful for him to live with Ah Jiu's ubiquitous attention every day.

Later, Ah Jiu clings to him, even following him to the toilet, which makes Li Qiu very depressed.

Two days ago, the eldest brother brought a bag of golden oranges, Li Qiu put them on the bedside, broke them open one by one and fed them to Ah Jiu after dinner.

In fact, Ah Jiu after aphasia is very obedient and obedient to Li Qiuyan, except that he refuses to talk and is too clingy, other things are perfect as a couple and can't find any faults.

Ah Jiu didn't speak, most of the time it was just Li Qiu talking to himself, Li Qiu broke off the orange flesh that was connected with the veins, and stuffed it lightly into Ah Jiu's mouth.Ah Jiu chewed and swallowed, his eyes still stubbornly settled on Li Qiu's face, like a child sticking to his own territory.

"I told you a lot about my childhood yesterday, let's talk about something else today, Ah Jiu, what do you want to hear?"

"..."

"If you don't say anything, I will treat you as abstaining. Then I won't talk today. Open your mouth and let's continue eating oranges."

Ah Jiu squeezed his palm to express her protest.

Li Qiu shook his head, "It doesn't count. If you want to listen, you can say it yourself. If you don't speak, I will treat you as abstaining."

"..." Still silent.

Li Qiu sighed softly, and wiped the corners of Ah Jiu's mouth with a tissue: "Forget it, forget it, this time it's up to you, but remember not to be an example." Every communication ended without a problem, because the soft-hearted Li Qiu always It is the first to lose.

"I'll tell you today, the day that changed my destiny, the day I became Li Qiu."

These days, Li Qiu has been telling Ah Jiu about his past and life experience one after another, those heavy pasts that he has concealed for many years and never looked back.Ah Jiu always listened quietly, without any emotion in her silent eyes, as if she was just listening to a very normal bedtime story.His reaction made Li Qiu feel relaxed from the bottom of his heart.

"As I mentioned yesterday, I am Shang Wei's youngest son, Shang Yanyu. About eight years ago, on a summer day, it was very boring, and I went to school alone as usual, with an umbrella in my bag. It was a very important day for me, so I was in a good mood, especially when I met my brother after school, and my brother invited me to take his special car home for the first time.”

"When I was young, I was very envious of my elder brother. He was better than me in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. He had a driver to pick him up and go to school, and he had his own special car. Uncle Yun said that it was a special treatment that only the eldest son of Shang could enjoy. My mother Passed away early, so none of this has anything to do with me."

Li Qiu gently tore the orange petals into two pieces, leaving sour juice on the glistening flesh.

"That day my brother gave me the special car, and he walked home instead. As a result, we drove halfway and accidentally brushed against another car. Three men got out of the other car, and they couldn't help but beat the driver unconscious. They took them all away. They took me to a remote antique shop and started calling the Shang family. Only then did I know that I had been kidnapped, and their original goal that day was to catch my brother."

Li Qiu smiled embarrassedly, stuffed the dripping fruit into Ah Jiu's mouth, and watched him eat it slowly.

"You said, am I super unlucky? Only that day I took my brother's car, and only that day I met a kidnapper. How could there be such a coincidence in the world. They notified the Shang family and hoped to exchange me for the Shang family's longevity screen Do you remember the Longevity Screen? It is a treasure handed down from generation to generation in my family. It is very valuable. It is said that it can bring people back to life forever. In the past, people would come to make trouble every three days or so. This time, they even managed to get kidnapped."

"The kidnappers were very fierce, and everyone was very skilled. I was scared and cried several times by them. Haha, I found out later that they were as nervous as me at the time, and it was the first time they did such a thing. Although I was scared , but I still think, after all, the Longevity Screen is a dead thing, I am my father's son, a living son, is it more important than a dead thing?"

Speaking of this, Li Qiu's eyes darkened, and Ah Jiu grabbed his hands immediately, and the familiar temperature immediately enveloped him.

"Thank you Jiu, I'm fine... You must have guessed it? It turned out that I was wrong. In my father's opinion, a living son is not as important as a dead thing that can make him immortal. So that day , Shang Yanyu is indeed dead, and being ruthlessly abandoned by his own blood relatives is actually more painful than death. I even hope that the kidnappers will kill me quickly and end this torture quickly."

"Guess what? The transaction failed, and they were more uncomfortable than me. The kidnappers cried out on the spot. You said it was shameful. I found out later that they wanted the longevity screen to save people. They came to the door After several visits failed, I had no choice but to resort to the trick of kidnapping. I just didn't expect that Shang Wei didn't care about his son at all, so they were destined not to get the longevity screen and save people."

"After the transaction failed, instead of tearing up the ticket, they apologized to me and sent me home in person. But they forgot that Shang Yanyu is dead, so where is his home?"

Li Qiu sniffled, touched Ah Jiu's face, and said with a smile: "At that time, I made a decision that changed my life. I took the initiative to find the kidnappers, and I wanted to help them get the longevity screen."

The abandoned son of the Shang family, the inner ghost of the Shang family, the investigation of its source is just an accidental decision made at a certain moment.Regardless of the consequences, regardless of the pros and cons, just relying on the strongest and most stubborn thoughts, unwillingness, and revenge.

The reasons are often simple and ironic.

"That's probably the most rebellious thing I've ever done in my life. Since I was a child, I have always been a good boy in the eyes of my elders. I am sensible and obedient, submissive, and have no temper. But now, it seems that I am still Shangwei's son. , no matter how obedient the appearance is, the temper and cold blood of the Shang family still flow in the bones."

"After the robbery was successful, I have been waiting for my father's reaction. At that time, I was both guilty and afraid, excited and looking forward to it. In fact, as long as he said hello, I would fly back to them without hesitation. Later, Everyone in Beijing knows that what I'm waiting for is the complete abandonment of the Shang family."

"The Youngest Son of the Shang Family Was Shot to Death"——The next day, the news was circulated on various media, and the Shang family made a heavy announcement that the young master Shang Yanyu passed away unfortunately.

Without any search or retention, the Shang family used the most decisive and favorable situation to simply wipe out Shang Yanyu's existence, and buried that disgraceful failed transaction forever.They even let the kidnappers become scapegoats, escalating the robbery case into a murder case, attracting sympathy and attention.

"No one asked me, and no one looked for me. They buried Shang Yanyu in the cold tomb of Babao Mountain, and they have been forgotten since then."
