he can't see our ears

The eldest brother still has to be hospitalized for treatment, and I didn't go out to live, so I got a folding chair here to accompany the bed.

To my relief, the doctor said his injuries were not dangerous.What is more puzzling than the trauma is the fact that he said that he "can't see the ears".

He couldn't see anyone's ears, and he couldn't even touch them.

We asked him, what do you think the original long ears look like?He said it was flat, nothing.

Of all the people he'd seen, no one had lost their ears, but he just couldn't see.

I brought the newspaper and asked him if he could see the ear in the picture.He can see.Looking at the phone photo album, people in previous photos also have ears.

But if you point the camera at a person and look at the real-time camera, he will not be able to see the ears, and if you take a new photo, the person in the new photo has no ears.

I also did an experiment.I secretly took a photo of a passer-by outside the hospital, and told him that it was an old photo taken when I first arrived in City A. I asked him if the person on it had ears, and he said yes; I immediately took a selfie and took it. When I asked him about it, he said that there were no ears in the photo.

So I thought, this must be his own hallucination.Both photos are actually new ones, the only difference is whether I took them in front of him or not.

I want to see if he can see the ears of small animals, but there are no real small animals in the hospital, and they cannot be brought in.Might try it out in the future.

The doctor said it was probably hysteria.What the hospital meant was that when he got better, he should arrange a psychiatric check-up, and recommended me another hospital in city A.

I told my brother what I thought.He has calmed down now and is analyzing the matter with me.

He said: "It may indeed be a hallucination. And let me analyze this symptom in detail. It's not that I think humans don't have ears, but that I know they should have ears, but I can't see them. Do you understand the difference?"

I thought about it, and it does make sense.Although the elder brother had strange symptoms, he was not confused.He clearly knew that he was not in the right state and needed to adjust.

That means he's not a problem.Some patients like to say that they are not sick, and they don't know they are sick, but my elder brother is not like this.

Seeing that the eldest brother's condition is getting better and better, the policewoman and the plainclothes men came more frequently, and they had to ask him in detail about what happened on the yacht that day.

The eldest brother is willing to cooperate, but it's a pity that he really can't remember.He couldn't remember what hurt him, or even how he fell into the water.

According to his recollection, it happened like this:

A friend of his in City A celebrated his birthday that day, and he invited everyone to a party and outing.A group of eight of them rented a yacht to go out to sea, and there were two staff members on board, that is, a total of ten people.

There is a cape scenic spot near City A, facing a small island in the distance. It is said that it is more beautiful to see it by boat than from land.The route of the small yacht includes this sea area. After watching the scenery near the small island, the boat will drive to a more open place, stop temporarily in a fixed sea area, and play some on-site fishing and other projects.

The eldest brother said that when they sailed past the small island, a few friends were busy viewing and taking pictures, and he noticed that the two crew members were chattering.He couldn't hear clearly, but felt that the crew's expression was not right, a little serious.

At that time, he didn't mind, thinking that maybe he had encountered a problem at work.

After driving for a long time, the boat stopped, and the crew began to organize everyone to play fishing.At that time, the sea was very cold and the sun was getting weaker. The girls who were traveling with me were all wrapped in coats.

A friend asked the crew if this is normal, and if it will rain, the crew said no, even if it rains, it will not affect their sailing, they have seen a lot, this type of cloudy day is not the kind that will have storms, no need Worry.

Despite the promise of safety, the temperature is getting colder and colder, which is very disappointing.Fishing was not going well either, there were no fish around at all, and everyone just stood around foolishly.

There was not much wind at that time, or it should be said that there was almost no wind, but the temperature was getting lower and lower.

My brother's memory is here.

He couldn't think of anything after that, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already on the emergency helicopter.

According to police, rescue team and yacht company records, since the yacht passed by the island, it has lost contact with the headquarters.

At that time, the yacht company only thought it was a communication problem, and they didn’t think about it badly. They asked other ships in the nearby waters to call for help. Many ships were calling for the yacht, but no one could get a response. Later, the company sent nearby ships to the route. I searched online and couldn't find it at all.When it was time to return to the dock, there was still no news of the yacht. The company called the police and contacted rescue.

Rescuers searched for hours and found the boat after dark.The ship had traveled a long way, completely off the normal tourist route.What's even more wrong is that the equipment on the ship is in good condition without any failure, but the ship could not be located before.

Just after the rescue plane saw it, the company suddenly saw its coordinates again.

At that time, the weather was calm, the boat was empty, the personal belongings of the guests were still there, and there were no signs of fighting on the boat.

The search and rescue personnel found my eldest brother not far from the ship, and the rest of the crew have not been found yet.

Now this matter is uploaded everywhere on the Internet, even fishing boats have participated in the search, and many experts from other cities have come,

In the next few days, experts came to ask my eldest brother every day for questioning.Some people mainly asked about the situation on the day of the accident, while others asked about his current illness.

The people who were in the same ward as my eldest brother were discharged one after another, leaving the bed empty and no one else was admitted.

So I slept in an empty hospital bed at night.The bed was covered with a blue dust cover, and I was not a patient, so I couldn’t open it, so I just lay down with my clothes on every day, making do with rest.

Once, I took the time to ask the policewoman, "Did a shark really bite him?"

She first said that the identification results were still pending, and later said that it was probably a wild animal, but it didn't look like a shark.I asked again, and she couldn't say anything else.

Every night, when my elder brother fell asleep, I would scroll through my phone in the dark, reading various news and explanations on the Internet.

In fact, I have not always believed in what is said on the Internet, but I have no other sources of information other than this.Faced with so much and such a variety of miscellaneous information, I can't help but want to read more, not sure which ones are useful.

I did some research on sharks.There are not many cases of shark bites in foreign countries, but each one is very scary.

Sharks have a characteristic of biting people. They don't eat people up one bite at a time. They just rush up and try to take a bite, but give up if they don't like it.

Just this one bite, most people can't stand it.A person bleeds profusely after being bitten, and may attract more sharks nearby, each of which comes to try to take a bite... then there is no way to survive.

I heard that sharks like to eat animals with particularly fatty meat, and people are too poor, so they leave with one bite.My elder brother's injury seems to be a bit like this. Although the wound is shocking, it is not a sign of repeated gnawing. It is more like something bit him hard a few times, and he let go without eating.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of the others on the same boat as him.What happened to those people?Are they floating at sea too?Drift too far?Or drowned?

I heard that no life jackets were left on board, which means that everyone is wearing life jackets.Then it shouldn't sink to the bottom.

And the boat didn't capsize at all, why did everyone fall into the sea?

Those people also only got one bite?Also... Could it be that only the eldest brother was bitten, while the others... were all eaten?

This animal ate nine people, and finally couldn't eat my eldest brother?But can one fish eat nine people?

Or a swarm of piranhas?Or a piranha the size of a whale?

I tossed and turned, my thoughts were wandering, I couldn't sleep at all, so I simply stopped sleeping, and kept reading various posts and blog posts on the Internet.

Looking at the time, it's three o'clock in the morning.A few days ago, I also received a call at three o'clock in the morning, knowing that something happened to my elder brother.

I got up and went to see how my brother was doing.He was in a deep sleep.

I am resentful and vaguely grateful for the creature that left a huge scar on his body.

The resentment is that it hurt the eldest brother, and the gratitude is that it didn't take him away, at least let him come back alive.

====================

When it was daylight, I finally fell asleep.Before I slept for a long time, it was time for the nurses to come in to draw blood and deliver medicine.

I was awakened by a scream.It was none other than Big Brother.

I got up in a jiffy, and saw him curled up on the bed as hard as he could, shouting to the nurse for help.

It wasn't the nurses who saved his life, but he was afraid of them, so he called for help.

I hurried over to appease him, but he was even more terrified when he saw me, almost incoherent.

The nurse was also at a loss. Now this scene should appear in a psychiatric hospital, not in a general hospital ward.

Soon the doctor also came, and a group of people were busy.

The eldest brother gradually calmed down.There was still fear in his eyes, but he had controlled his emotions and stopped yelling.

I observed that although he kept looking left and right, he was trying to avoid looking at us as much as possible.

The doctor did some examinations for him, and asked him in detail what was wrong and where he felt uncomfortable.

The eldest brother took a deep breath and told us as slowly as possible: "I... can't see my eyes."

Just as he couldn't see anyone's ears, now, he couldn't see eyes either.

In his eyes, each of us has no eyes.

Where the eyes should have been, there was smooth skin.

In the mirror, he couldn't see his own eyes either.But he still has normal vision.

The nurse gave him eye drops.When dripping, he raised his head, and the nurse pulled his lower eyelid, and we all watched the water drop into the space between his eyeball and eyelid.

The nurse then told him to close his eyes, which he said he couldn't do because he "had no eyes" and couldn't control the parts called "eyes".

The nurse reached out and pinched his eyelids shut, which was fine.

In the feeling he described, the nurse pulled the skin near his eye sockets and dripped the medicine on his skin. He couldn't feel the medicine liquid filling the eyeballs.

The eyedrops did slip out of his eyes in large quantities, as if he had dripped them at home and hadn't managed them well.The nurse also found it strange that there should not be so much bleeding.

But so far, they and I both think that the eldest brother is having hallucinations, so we deliberately don't close our eyes.

A few minutes later, I was the first to discover the weirder details: Ever since the nurse pinched his eyelids, the eldest brother's eyes have been closed, and he didn't take the initiative to open them again.

But for a few minutes, he has vision.

He could see where I was, was able to fetch items himself, and took a glass to drink from.But his eyes remained closed.

I went to open his eyelids again and successfully opened them.So, he kept his eyes open, without even blinking!

I was completely dumbfounded, and hurriedly notified the doctors and nurses.

While waiting for the doctors and nurses, my elder brother told me "don't be afraid".

I don't know if I'm scared or not, and now I can't describe how I feel inside.It's beyond common sense, this is an experience I have never had.
