I'm Not Shouldering This Blame

Jian Hua hung up the phone, and the phone screen automatically returned to the standby desktop.

Against the dark background, the handsome and heroic general is holding a halberd, with a tired face and blood stains all over his body, except for a pair of sharp and bright eyes, which can almost turn into sharp blades through the screen.

Jian Hua silently slid his finger to the settings icon, skillfully cut out a picture of a landscape and green trees, and replaced the official "Crow" picture that was originally on the desktop.

He is hanging saline and dextrose in a small clinic.

If it weren't for his good health, he might not be able to stand up now if he were replaced by someone else.

"You're so weak that you still take up work?" The old doctor in the clinic looked at Jian Hua disapprovingly. They were acquaintances. The old doctor was a retired general doctor with no great skills. He usually treated people for minor ailments and pains. .

Huaicheng is not a particularly prosperous city, but there are two large film and television bases here, and crews film here almost every day.Many young people with the idea of ​​getting ahead in the film and television industry drifted to Huaicheng to rent a house, and then squeezed the subway every day, bumped through most of the city to the gate of the film and television city, waiting in the cold wind for the crew that needed extras.

They live in poverty, do not have medical insurance, and do not have much money to see a doctor and treat injuries.

Jian Hua used to be one of them, so he got acquainted with the doctor Cheng Lao from the small clinic.

"Young man, what are you doing so hard?" The old doctor finished wiping his old glass lenses, and picked up the stethoscope again, "You haven't eaten for a few days? Go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, and then rest at home for a month! "

Jian Hua smiled wryly, the body is the capital of life, how could he be willing to toss himself like this.

——What happened last night, no one would believe it even if it was told.

His eyes fell on the teacup by the table, the water in it suddenly sloshed, and a little splashed on the table.

Mr. Cheng didn't see it, and was still rambling: "Compared to other young people, you are already successful enough. After a few years, you bought a house in Huaicheng and got a car. I asked you to quit smoking and find a job in the nine-year-old house." Work late at night, live a down-to-earth life, the young man is good-looking and energetic, what can't he do?"

Jian Hua was silent.

If he hadn't received the call from Li Fei's manager, he would have really planned to leave the film and television industry.

I have taken a lot of risks in these years, and the money I earned has been paid back, but most of it was used to buy a house and that second-hand car. I really don’t have much savings. After half a year of being idle at home, I really can’t continue to sit and eat.

"The job you mentioned on the phone just now requires you to go to Haicheng to sign a contract. It takes three hours to take a long-distance bus from Haicheng. With your current virtue?" Cheng Lao blew his beard and stared. reprimanded.

Jian Hua pinched the center of his brows, and sighed with a headache: "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

How can there be such an exaggeration when there is no wind blowing? If it is really so fragile, can you still go to the clinic for medical treatment?

Cheng Lao glared at him and went back to work.

Although it is very noisy here, there are children wailing who refuse to get injections, and the honking of vehicles passing by outside, but the noise is the most reassuring for Jian Hua right now. Lying in the back of the clinic where Cheng Lao took his lunch break, Jian Hua was so sleepy that he didn't know what to do. I fell asleep.

During the period, the nurse came in to change the bottle, but he didn't wake up.

Jian Hua is dreaming.

In the dream, there was an endless barren Gobi, the sky was ominously blood red, and the crows were sitting on the dead tree trunks, making ugly hoarse calls.A young general turned around slowly, his figure was tall and straight, his back was like a mountain.

The halberd was dragging in his hand, and there were corpses at his feet.

He walked out of the impasse step by step, towards the direction where the sun was setting...

Suddenly a cry appeared in the dream, and all the crows and dead trees in the desert disappeared. The general stood in the studio, wiped off the blood on his face, and handed the props and halberds to the crew, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face.

Then Jian Hua woke up, he opened his eyes, staring at the mottled ceiling in a daze.

"It's almost there." Cheng Lao entered the room, and pulled out Jian Hua's needle, "You slept soundly, and it's almost dinner time, how do you feel?"

How else can I feel, hanging two big bottles of water, of course I want to go to the toilet!

Jian Hua nodded to indicate that he was much better, pressed cotton on the pinhole, and walked into the bathroom with his whole clothes.

The toilet is a single room, which is in Cheng Lao's lounge.After solving the physical problems, when he turned on the faucet to wash his hands, Jian Hua saw the light bulb above his head dangling twice, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

"What's the sound?" Elder Cheng asked outside.

"..."

Jian Hua couldn't be sure if this was a masterpiece of his reading ability, he walked out of the bathroom in the dark, and said a little embarrassedly: "The light bulb is broken, I'll go to the store to buy one for you to replace."

"What to change, just ask someone to repair it tomorrow." Cheng Lao didn't think so, and handed over a small plastic bag in his hand, "Go home and rest quickly, here, this is your medicine! Your symptom is nutrition Bad blood sugar is low! Remember to take vitamins..."

Before he finished speaking, Jian Hua suddenly stopped him.

Old Cheng was puzzled, he had known Jian Hua for several years, and it was the first time he saw the look of fear in this young man's eyes.

"Did you hear any sound?" Jian Hua's voice trembled.

Cheng Lao was puzzled, there was no sound at all, it was quiet outside——

Around six o'clock is the bustling time in the old city. People returning home from get off work and school, the sound of clanging pots, pans and spoons should be in an endless stream. How can it be so quiet?

Jian Hua's eyes fell on the door of the lounge, it was closed.

He walked over step by step and opened the door.

Sure enough, there was no one outside.

——Even if there were no patients, the nurses were nowhere to be seen.

Cheng Lao ran out in a panic, called the nurse's name, and left the clinic again, dumbfounded.The neighbors in the neighborhood are all gone, and beside the stone bench where the old people usually gather to chat, there are still crutches and chess pieces.

Jian Hua stretched out his hand and slowly supported his forehead. He didn't expect that the disaster would happen again.

"What's wrong?" Mr. Cheng had never seen such a ridiculous thing in his decades of life.

Jian Hua's mind was overwhelmed, and he was so irritable that he wanted to smash the things in front of him, but there was an old man beside him, an old man who took care of him a lot, so he couldn't show his despair.

Supporting Mr. Cheng, Jian Hua found a seat for him to sit down, and recounted what happened to him last night in the shortest words.

Of course, he still had reservations, not mentioning that he could move objects with his mind.

After Cheng Lao calmed down, he quickly realized the current situation - intellectually, he didn't believe Jian Hua's words, but the facts were shocking.

"When you got into the elevator, everything changed when you got out?" Old Cheng frowned so much that he could kill a mosquito, he couldn't help but think that Jian Hua's bottle should be hung up almost, because the nurse said that the young man fell asleep , So he deliberately closed the door when he came in to check.

When did the outside sound disappear?

Mr. Cheng thought hard, and finally clapped his hands: "It was after the toilet light bulb broke!"

The noise was not small, Mr. Cheng was startled at the time, fearing that Jian Hua would fall down in the toilet due to exhaustion, he hurriedly asked, and then they kept talking until Jian Hua noticed something was wrong.

"What can we do?" Old Cheng was sweating coldly.

It turns out that the truth of Jian Hua's poor health is that the young man has survived for dozens of hours without eating or drinking, and he is an old bone, isn't it fatal?

Jian Hua picked up a newspaper from the clinic floor, seeing the headlines of social news made his pupils constrict.

Huanyu Studios, the stolen food from the supermarket, at eleven o'clock last night... the young couple died?

"boom!"

There was a flame in the sky in the distance, and a huge roar sounded.

Jian Hua was taken aback, and quickly ran to the window with Cheng Lao, only to see thick smoke rising from the top floor of the Pearl Hotel, a landmark building in the center of Huaicheng City, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder explosion.

If it was a normal day, Jian Hua would have definitely thought that the Pearl Hotel had suffered a terrorist attack.

"There are others?" Cheng Lao was surprised and delighted.

Things are strange, no matter who falls into this world where time is stagnant, they will be in a state of confusion, who still has the mind to throw explosives?It is not so easy to find explosives in China, unless you make your own——

"Whoosh, pop!"

On the other side of the Linjiang Bridge, I don’t know who is setting off the fireworks. A flurry of fireworks jumped into the sky, shattering the tranquility of the night.

"Old Cheng, you are hiding in the clinic, I'll go and see."

"...Be careful." Mr. Cheng wanted to follow, but as an old man, if something happened to him, he would definitely drag Jian Hua down.

After nodding to Cheng Lao and promising to come back, Jian Hua cautiously walked out of the street and headed towards Linjiang Bridge.

Although the Pearl Hotel is relatively close, the dangers of setting off fireworks and throwing explosives are clear at a glance, so there is no need to elaborate.

The cold wind was blowing at night, and the road was the same as last night, with countless cars parked with their lights on.It's the evening rush hour, except for the green light and red light, they will not respond at all, just like normal congestion.

It looked bustling and bustling, but it was actually empty.

Suddenly a young man with a big bag on his mountain bike broke into Jian Hua's field of vision.

"Huh?" They saw each other at the same time.

The mountain bike slid over nimbly, and the young man with dyed hair looked at Jian Hua suspiciously: "Who are you?"

When the other party appeared, countless thoughts turned in Jian Hua's mind, and the young man's unhurried attitude confirmed his guess - this person must know something, otherwise no one would be able to face such a change and still be in a daze. If nothing happens.

"I'll go there." Jian Hua pointed at the Linjiang Bridge.

"Oh, comrades, let's go together!" said the young man immediately.

Jian Hua looked calm: "You go first, I'm looking for a car."

"You're too casual, you're not prepared at all." The young man didn't completely let go of his guard, and was still staring at Jian Hua.

Jian Hua saw the big backpack behind the other party, and the corner of the food packaging bag that was not fully zipped, and he realized something.

"I hid the food elsewhere." Jian Hua said.

The young man laughed when he heard the sound, and he gave a thumbs up: "I have an idea, in fact, I do too, but I brought two packs of food. Don't worry, the plot has just begun, there is no..."

The young man didn't finish his sentence, because a man sprang out from the darkness with a sharp hand, and slapped him on the back of the neck, knocking him out.

Jian Hua saw it when the other party touched it.

This person is none other than his little brother Lu Xi.

Although he didn't know what Lu Xun was going to do, but between the familiar Fa Xiao and the suspicious stranger, Jian Hua still chose Lu Xun, so he watched Lu Xun quietly knocking him out.

"Great, you're here too!"

Lu Xi grabbed Jian Hua's hand excitedly, with a look of fear on his face: "I came out of the elevator and found that everyone was gone. There are still people killing people at the Pearl Hotel. Let's get out of here quickly and find a place to hide."

"..."

Jian Hua looked at him quietly, the smile on Lu Xun's face couldn't be maintained, and he quietly took half a step back.

"What, what's wrong?"
