Chapter 038
I looked around blankly and found that the place where I was buried was a wasteland. All the ghosts around had disappeared. Only Lin Tian was there. He was lying on the ground unconscious with a shovel beside him.
I was so frightened that I hurriedly climbed out of the coffin. But as soon as I moved, I couldn't stop feeling dizzy, as if I had not yet recovered from the lack of oxygen.
I could only try my best to keep my body steady and slowly crawl towards Lin Tian.
When I touched his hand, my heart sank. Lin Tian's body was ice-cold, without any temperature left.
My eyes went dark, and after a while, I barely woke up. I kept shouting Lin Tian's name, trying to pull him up from the pile of dirt. I reached out to touch his nose, but fortunately, his breathing was very weak, but still intermittent.
I quickly took off my clothes and tied them around Lin Tian's arms to prevent the wounds on his body from bleeding again.
The blood on his hand was already showing signs of drying up, but the wound was too big, and a little blood would still flow out with the slightest movement.
I could only try my best to avoid his wounds, slowly carrying him on my back and rushing towards the hospital in the city.
I was shouting his name all the way. Lin Tian had lost too much blood and was unconscious. He had no response at all. But I once heard someone say that although he couldn't answer in this situation, he could still hear vaguely.
I don’t know what I’m afraid of. Maybe it’s useless to do this, but I’m really afraid that if I stop suddenly, Lin Tian’s breath will disappear.
I was like a madman , saying over and over again, Lin Tian, you have to hold on, you must not die! If you die, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life! You will have a guilty conscience even if you become a ghost!
I ran all the way, and finally got out of this wasteland and into the city. Almost as soon as I walked in, everyone on the street looked at me. I could even hear women screaming.
I know I look like a madman now, just like Lin Tian, with blood all over my body. Those people stood on both sides and watched, but no one came forward to ask if I needed help. I wanted to find a car, but the driver saw the state of Lin Tian and me and dared not take us to the hospital no matter what.
I was so anxious that I could only run towards the hospital while trying to find a car.
At this time Lin Tian suddenly woke up. I felt him move on my shoulder. I turned around and found that his eyes were slightly open.
I was delighted and quickly said, "Hold on, we will be at the hospital soon!"
Lin Tian was silent for a long time, as if he couldn't speak. After a long time, he finally uttered a few words with difficulty, saying, "Tan Xi... I can't do it anymore..."
My eyes immediately became wet, but I couldn't let Lin Tian see me sad, so I quickly turned around and wiped them, saying, "Don't fucking say these to me. If you really dare to die, I'll jump off the building to find you!"
Lin Tian smiled faintly, looking tired, as if he would die at any moment. He said... Stop teasing me... You are more afraid of death than I am...
I also laughed, a very sad laugh, and said if you don't fucking believe it, just give it a try...
I couldn't finish my words, it felt like a farewell, as if someone was stabbing me in the heart with a knife. I could only hold back my tears and ask him to save his energy and stop talking.
Lin Tian smiled faintly again, leaned on my shoulder and said nothing more.
I glanced at the street, and seeing those numb eyes, I felt the indifference of the world. I saw that Lin Tian's condition was getting worse and worse, and even the brief conversation just now made me think of the four words "last breath".
I still have some distance to go to the hospital, and I don’t know if he can hold on.
I was extremely anxious, but at this moment, I suddenly heard someone ask, "Well...are you guys going to be robbed?"
I looked back and saw a woman, probably around 20 years old, with a ponytail, standing a distance away from me and Lin Tian. She seemed a little worried, but didn't dare to get too close to us. She just stood there and asked.
I definitely couldn't tell him the true situation, so I looked at him, nodded, and said yes, I was chopped when I resisted.
The woman seemed relieved and said, "That's good. I see your friend is seriously injured. Get in the car and I'll take you to the hospital." She pointed to the cars parked on the street. I saw that I had met a kind person and was afraid that she would change her mind at the last minute, so I quickly opened the car door and put Lin Tian in the back seat.
I didn't expect this woman to be so brave. Apart from being worried about our identities, she didn't care much about the miserable state of Lin Tian and me. She took the key, got in the car and started the car.
We didn't speak on the way. My mind was full of Lin Tian's safety and I didn't care about other things. The car quickly arrived at the hospital. I hurriedly said thank you and got out of the car and wanted to carry Lin Tian again. The woman hurriedly told me to wait.
I looked at her in confusion and saw that she made a phone call. She seemed to know someone in the hospital. She just briefly explained the situation on the phone, saying that there was a patient in critical condition or something.
After hanging up the phone, she smiled at me and said that it was very dangerous to move the injured in this way, and that professional medical staff would arrive soon.
Sure enough, within a minute, a doctor and three or five nurses came out pushing a stretcher. They all smiled when they saw the woman, and without saying much, they quickly checked Lin Tian's condition. I saw the doctor checked Lin Tian's injuries, his brows immediately frowned, and he turned to us and said that the man had lost too much blood and was in a very dangerous condition, and needed surgery and blood transfusion.
I hurriedly said to the doctor, "Please save him!"
The doctor looked at me and asked, "Are you the patient's family member?"
I nodded and said yes.
He said that was good, we would go for emergency treatment first, and you should prepare to sign the surgery consent form, but his condition was not good now, and we didn’t have much hope.
I hurriedly said, as long as there is still hope, it's fine.
He nodded without saying anything more. Several people put Lin Tian on a stretcher and carried him into the hospital.
I was just about to catch up when the woman behind me pulled me and said, "Don't worry, we still need to prepare now and you won't be able to help even if you go."
Having said that, how can I feel at ease?
She saw that I was anxious, so she said, "Don't worry, your friend will be fine. I will tell them and perform the surgery as soon as possible."
When I heard her say this, I remembered her behavior just now and realized that she was obviously an important person. So I said, "I'm sorry, I haven't had the chance to thank you properly. You have helped us a lot."
She smiled sweetly and said it was no big deal. This hospital was owned by her family, so there should be some privileges.
I finally understood why she was so bold. An ordinary girl would probably be scared to death seeing this scene. Maybe she goes in and out of hospitals all the time, so she is used to it.
I thought I had met a noble person, so I thanked him again, but I was not in the mood to chat. I could not help but run to the hospital. She could guess what I was thinking, so she did not stop me this time, but ran in with me.
Lin Tian had been sent to the emergency room. There were people running around doing various tests. I waited outside, and soon someone told me to pay the fee and sign for the surgery. The efficiency was really fast. It seemed that the woman with the ponytail had also told them a lot of things.
But when I heard the cost of the surgery, my heart sank and I was at a loss. I couldn't come up with the money, and now I couldn't find anyone to borrow from. I thought about it for a long time before I decided to call Lin Jing.
The phone kept beeping, and I was conflicted. I wanted to get through as soon as possible, but I was afraid that Lin Jing would know the truth. I was a little afraid to face her, but before I could make up my mind, the phone was connected.
Lin Jing called out "Hello" and asked Brother Tan, what's wrong?
As soon as I heard her voice, I couldn't help but choke up. I took a deep breath, controlled my emotions, and said, Xiaojing, your brother and I have something going on right now and need some money. Can you see if you can help us? We need it urgently.
Lin Jing had no doubts and said, "Sure , just ask me if you need it. How much do you want?"
I told her the cost of the surgery and she was surprised and asked, "Why is it so much?"
I said "Yeah".
Lin Jing thought for a while and said, Brother Tan, I don’t have that much money now, and it’s not easy to ask my parents for it. I probably only have two-thirds of it, and my brother should have some in his card as well. It should be enough when added together. Let him answer the phone and I will explain it to him clearly so that he won’t say I’m stingy.
When I heard that she wanted to talk to Lin Tian, I almost couldn't control my emotions and tears started to well up again. Then someone patted me gently from behind. I turned around and found it was the woman with the ponytail. She looked at me and was stunned for a moment, then asked me, "Are you okay?"
I quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes, shook my head and said it was okay, and pointed to the phone in my hand, and she didn't say anything.
I thought for a while and said, Xiaojing, Lin Tian just went out and is not with me now. He didn’t bring his cell phone with him. Why don’t you transfer the money to his card first, and I’ll ask him to call you when he comes back.
After all, Lin Jing still has the heart of a girl. She didn't doubt what I said and just said "OK".
I said "hmm" again and was about to hang up the phone when I suddenly heard her say, "Brother Tan, I know you are in a special situation now. My brother is with you. To be honest, I don't know what's going on, but no matter what, don't let anything happen to you. My brother is also a big guy with a bad temper, but you have to keep an eye on him. I was scared by you last time and I'm afraid he will become like that. Don't let anything happen to him..."
I felt so guilty that I couldn't hold it back any longer. I covered my mouth and said "hmm" and hung up the phone in a hurry. The girl with the ponytail seemed to want to comfort me, but I waved my hands. I was too embarrassed to cry in front of strangers. I ran to the bathroom quickly and burst into tears as soon as I entered the cubicle.
I was thinking about Ding Ding's death, my mother's plan to bury me alive, and Lin Tian's uncertain life or death. These things pressed down on me one by one, like a mountain, crushing my spirit.
I cried so hard, and all the pressure that had accumulated during this period seemed to be released with my tears.
Occasionally, people who walked into the bathroom would be stunned for a moment and then quickly leave when they saw me like this. In the end, I was still alone.
But as I was crying, I suddenly heard a mocking voice, someone laughing strangely in the cubicle next to me, as if the sadder I cried, the happier he seemed.
