Baizhou

A sleep after a long period of sleepless sleep is like a sudden shower of rain on the dry and cracked land in a severe drought. It is moist on the surface, but the water cannot immediately penetrate deep into the soil, inside the soil, Still dry.

When Sang Yang got up from the bed, he felt much relieved, but the depths of his body seemed to be hollowed out, and he felt slow and tired from the inside out.

She went to take a shower, and when she came out of the bathroom, she was much more awake, and then went to the kitchen to make herself a bowl of noodles.

There are not many ingredients left in the refrigerator, and the noodles are clear soup with little water, which is very vegetarian.

But Pea, who was playing in an unknown corner, immediately ran over when he smelled the food, and stayed at the door of the kitchen.

Because Shiba Inu suffers from severe hair loss, the kitchen is its forbidden area, and its access has been restricted since it was a child. When it grows up, it knows that it can go anywhere in the house, except this place.

So he stayed at the door, walking anxiously, looking in, lest the meal should leave him.

When Sang Yang heard the movement, he turned his head and saw the panicked little Shiba Inu, and bent his lips involuntarily.

She turned off the fire, and was not in a hurry to serve the noodles, but went out, added dog food to the pea bowl, and added another canned beef that it liked most.

Pea eagerly buried her head in eating, and Sang Yang stroked its hairy head.

The pea does not protect the food, and can be touched casually when eating. Even if the food it is eating is taken away, it will not get angry, at most it will whine pitifully twice.

At this time, it was touched twice, and it subconsciously followed Sang Yang's hand when she withdrew it, and rubbed its head perfunctorily on her palm, then continued to enjoy its food as if it had completed the task.

Sang Yang's smile deepened, and it stained his eyes.

Since Bai Zhou left, she hadn't smiled so relaxedly and sincerely for a long time.

She looked at Little Pea and said softly in her heart: "Thank you for being with her for those three years, and thank you for finding that painting."

In just a short while, the noodles in the pot became lumpy.

Sang Yang washed his hands and took them out. In fact, he didn’t feel hungry. In fact, he couldn’t taste the taste after several chopsticks. He didn’t know if it was salty or bland, but Sang Yang forced himself to fill a whole bowl of noodles. abdomen.

The body absorbed food and heat, just like the dry and cracked land. After the rain, the water finally gradually seeped into the ground, making the whole land moist.

Sang Yang ironed a lot of posts. She cleaned up the dishes and brought the painting in front of her eyes.

She was not as excited as she was when she just read the words left by Bai Zhou. She calmed herself down into a pool of calm and stagnant water. No matter how dark and turbulent the bottom of the water was, at least the surface was stable and calm.

Sang Yang thought for a while, picked up the painting tentatively, and walked to the window. At this time, the sun just shone through the window.Sang Yang put the painting in the sun and slowly changed the angle.

She stared at the picture, expecting the scene to reveal something through the sunlight.

But no, that vast and beautiful universe remained motionless.

So, Sang Yang knew that light was not the way to reveal the secret.

She put the painting back on the easel, and paced back and forth in the studio, walking countless times. She found that although she knew that the painting was the key to reunite her and Bai Zhou, she could barely move.

Because the paintings are drawn on paper, and paper is the most easily damaged, in addition to the method of being exposed to sunlight, even if she thinks of pouring water on the paper and brushing acid on the paper like those seen in movies and TV dramas Or adding something else or simply physically damaging it, she didn't dare to try it on the painting, because if she tried it wrong, the painting would be destroyed.

As for the other picture that is exactly the same, the picture of the universe that appeared in the art exhibition should be the same picture as this one according to logic. status after the year.

But Sang Yang is not sure that this picture of this time and space also has the effect of being able to travel through time and space.

In other words, she probably only has one chance, and if she makes a mistake, she will lose it.

This discovery made Sang Yang dignified.

If she couldn't try, how would she find a way to use this key.

How did Bai Zhou discover the mystery of this painting?

Sang Yang paced back and forth in the studio. She tried to construct in her mind the scene of Bai Zhou seeing the painting, and imagined what she would do, but she knew too few details to restore the scene at that time. .

She took the key, but found that the key was too fragile and mysterious, and the keyhole matching the key was nowhere to be found. She was trapped in the same place, unable to move an inch.

For the entire weekend that followed, Sang Yang studied the painting, and her focus was still on the black hole that occupied a large area in the painting.

After many sci-fi movies and science fiction popularization, the concept that black holes have strong gravity to fold space and can travel through time and space is nothing new.

I don’t know if it’s because Sang Yang has been watching it for a long time, or it’s a psychological effect. At night, under the light of the lights, the black hole will look extraordinarily deep, like a drop of water falling into the middle of a ball of thick ink, and the ripples will spread out round and round. .

If you look closely, there is nothing there. It is just an ordinary painting, which makes people think it is just an illusion.

Sang Yang was helpless, even when he was walking the dog, he was thinking about it.

Still clueless, she got too few conditions, only the words left by Bai Zhou, and her anomaly all day long, but no matter how Sang Yang recalled, she couldn't recall any useful details.

It was already dark, and Sang Yang was sitting on a bench by the roadside. Pea was happily running and playing on the lawn behind with a leash, and took out a stone from the grass and gnawed on it.

A street lamp is lit at intervals on the side of the road. The street lamp is round and emits a cold white light.

There are many pedestrians on the road, either walking quickly alone, or walking slowly with a family.

Sang Yang looked up at the night sky, there was a bright moon in the sky, and there were a few stars looming, the starry sky was lonely, and Sang Yang came up with that painting.

I watched it too many times these days, watching it almost every minute, and almost every detail in the corners of the painting was deeply engraved in her mind.

In her imagination, she flattened the universe in the painting on the night sky, and couldn't help thinking about how to go back to the past through this painting.

Several girls passing by saw the pea, stopped, leaned together, laughed and made a "suck" sound at the pea, trying to tease it to come.Pea stopped gnawing on rocks, and hid vigilantly beside Sang Yang, not wanting to play with strangers.

When Sang Yang noticed it running over, he turned his head and saw the girls who were still looking at Pea and wanted to play with Shiba Inu, so he smiled apologetically at them.

The girls understood what the master meant, so they had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

Wan Dou probably had enough fun, she didn't run away after reaching Sang Yang's side, and looked up at her obediently.

Sang Yang met its gaze, Shiba Inu's eyes were dark and bright, reflecting a little light on the side of the road, it stuck out its tongue, a little silly, but sincerely relied on Sang Yang.

Sang Yang inevitably thought of Bai Zhou again.

The same is true of Bai Zhou. He has clean eyes and smiles shyly at her. He likes to be by her side the most and relies on her obediently. But most of the time he is very sensible and takes care of everything at home Orderly, I remember Sang Yang's parents' birthday, and when Sang Yang is too busy, I will go to her parents' house once a week for her, often send her to and from work, and take care of her when she is sick.

There are so many things that often make Sang Yang feel that she is more dependent on Bai Zhou.

She didn't think of Bai Zhou, but when she was just sitting in a trance, she was still calm and rational, and even comforted herself subconsciously, she could always go back to the past and reunite with Bai Zhou.

But when I think of her, my heart hurts like being bitten by insects and ants.

Pea put her front paws on her legs, Sang Yang stroked its back, and said to it gently: "Where did you find that painting? Xiaozhou must be very angry, she doesn't like people messing with her paintings .Then did she take the painting? And then? What happened? Xiaozhou probably did it unintentionally, what could it be..."

Pea naturally wouldn't answer her, and Sang Yang didn't expect it to tell her, just whispered softly,

The next day was Monday, when the alarm to wake up rang, Sang Yang opened his eyes, in a trance for a while, feeling a strong sense of separation.

She sat there for a long time before getting up, and went downstairs to look at the painting again.

I met colleagues all the way to the hospital.

As usual, they greeted Sang Yang with a smile. When they walked to the department, several colleagues had already arrived. They were either rounding the ward, or having breakfast, chatting in low voices, talking about where they went to play on the weekend.

Seeing Sang Yang come in, they all smiled at her. Sang Yang noticed that some of her colleagues were still looking cheerful, retaining the enthusiasm they had just chatted with. When one or two saw her, they restrained their smiles and looked at her eyes. Concern is evident in the color.

"Doctor Sang, we are talking about that movie. It was good. Have you seen it this weekend? If you haven't, you must go. It's really good. If you don't watch it, you will lose money." A male doctor said excitedly. Said.

It happened that Xu Songyi came to visit the door, and when he came in and heard this sentence, he turned his head and looked at Sang Yang. Seeing this, other people also looked at Sang Yang, and then a few colleagues belatedly remembered that Sang Yang might not be in the mood to watch As for the movie, the case of Bai Zhou will be tried.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Songyi gave the male doctor a sideways look, "Aren't you going to make rounds?"

For a while, the atmosphere became awkward, and everyone got up to go out. A female colleague patted Sang Yang on the shoulder as a comfort when she passed by.

Sang Yang didn't have any special feelings, she just thought of the sentence Bai Zhou wrote, "It's like living alone and becoming an isolated island that no one cares about".

She remembered that at first everyone was very careful not to mention the boat in front of her. Gradually, this incident was forgotten. Only a few colleagues who had a particularly good relationship remembered it and paid attention to it. Now, four months have passed, Basically no one took this matter to heart anymore, and in a few months, they might not even remember who Bai Zhou was.

Sang Yang didn't think everyone had to remember Xiaozhou.

She just found that what Xiaozhou said was right, people around her gradually forgot about her, and gradually, it seemed that she was the only one who remembered her in the world. isolated island.

She misses Bai Zhou terribly, misses Bai Zhou very much.

"Sang Yang." Xu Songyi was still in the office, she called carefully, observing Sang Yang's expression.

Sang Yang looked at her, Xu Songyi didn't know how to speak, he forced a smile after a while, and said softly: "This life is still long, and there are many important things, Xiao Zhou cares about you so much, She puts you first in everything, if she knows you are so sad, she must be worried to death."

Comforting people is nothing more than a few words, there is still a long way to go, you have to look forward, you will meet better things, or cheer up, don't let the dead feel uneasy.

There was nothing wrong with what Xu Songyi said, but Sang Yang became more and more sad because she mentioned Baizhou.

After a busy day, it suddenly rained when I got off work. The flowers in the flower bed were knocked down by the rain. On the concrete floor, a few petals trickled down, and the air was filled with the smell of rain and mud.

When Sang Yang went downstairs, she realized that it was raining. She didn't bring an umbrella. Seeing that the rain was too heavy, she decided to go upstairs and stay for a while.

When passing by the service desk, a middle-aged woman was talking excitedly to the front desk.

Sang Yang didn't pay much attention, because there are such scenes every day, but when she passed by, she heard the middle-aged woman saying: "The car he was driving was in an accident, and the medicine is no longer available. It is a waste of money to keep it." , return it to you, you continue to sell, and there is no loss, why can't you return it?"

Sang Yang's pace slowed down, she was a little sensitive when she heard the word "car accident".

"Auntie, it's not that we didn't refund you on purpose. It's because the hospital stipulates that the medicines prescribed in outpatient clinics cannot be refunded. You think, if you can refund them, if a bad person comes to prescribe the medicine, take it away, and then replace it with a fake medicine, the hospital will return the medicine." Isn't it harmful to prescribe it to other patients?" The service desk probably explained for a long time, but the middle-aged woman was very aggressive, and the nurse at the service desk was a little impatient.

When Sang Yang heard it, he felt bad.

Sure enough, the middle-aged woman caught on to this sentence and refused to let go: "You mean I cheated people with fake medicine? You think I'm poor so I will come to cheat money? Knowing how to drive a bus, you can still earn some money. Now that people are gone, the medicine is useless if you overprescribe it. If you come and get it back, you still want to falsely accuse me of cheating money, you just..."

Sang Yang's attention was attracted by the word "bus", and there were already many onlookers standing around the service desk. Sang Yang was in the crowd, looking at the boxes of medicines thrown on the service desk.

The medicine was originally packed in a bag, but when I threw it with some force, the mouth of the bag came apart, and a few boxes fell out. Sang Yang saw the name of the medicine and judged what disease the patient was suffering from.

The middle-aged woman chattered endlessly, but she was persuaded to leave in the end. When they dispersed, Sang Yang walked to the information desk and asked, "Which patient's family member is that aunt just now?"

The nurse recognized her, and complained to her first, and then said: "It's the family of the bus driver who was in the big car accident before. After the car accident, the bus exploded, and the driver was gone. But he was with us before. A lot of medicines have been prescribed, and she wants to withdraw."

Sang Yang listened, thought for a moment, and then asked: "Do you know when the driver came to see the doctor?"

"I know, she came here on the morning of November 11 last year. She showed me the prescription, which proved that it was prescribed in our hospital. I looked at the date and thought it took so long before I thought of returning it." As soon as the nurse said it, she couldn't help curling her lips.

"What time is it in the morning?" Sang Yang asked again.

The nurse was a little puzzled when she heard her question so detailed, and her expression froze, but she still replied, "Is it ten minutes past nine? I can't remember."

The rain outside had lightened, and many people didn't want to wait any longer, so they rushed into the rain and started running.

Sang Yang didn't run, she walked in the rain, arrived at the parking lot, got in the car, didn't start it immediately, but fell into deep thought.

It was too much of a coincidence.

The driver had been to the hospital on the day of the accident.

This can be regarded as their intersection before the car accident.

But if you really want to say what is a coincidence or what is weird, I can't say it. After all, there are too many people coming to the hospital, and it is normal to see a doctor when you are sick.
