Volume 1: Die with Unclosed Eyes 97. Cheating in Person
Soon the lights in the lounge came on. I saw a row of lounge chairs behind me had been pushed into a mess. The sleepers had scurried aside. Two naked men were wrestling in a ball. One of them was heavier, covered in blood, lying on the ground, barely able to resist. The other young man was riding on him, still not satisfied, punching the fat man in the face left and right. The woman standing next to him was holding a bloody dagger in her hand, and the bath towel wrapped around her was also covered in blood. The woman seemed to be trying to pull the man up, but he pushed her to the ground. He pointed at her with anger and said, "You stinky bitch, seducing me in front of me in a place like this. After I finish dealing with this bastard, I'll show you how I'll kill you."
The man looked quite fierce. Besides being strong, he also had a colorful Thor tattoo on his back, which made him look like a gangster. So no one dared to stop them. But if they let him continue to fight like this, the fat man would be beaten to death sooner or later.
I didn't have time to think about it, so I went to stop the fight and said, "This man has been stabbed. If you really beat him to death, you won't be able to escape."
"I can't fucking run away anymore, so I might as well beat him to death. Then I'll kill that bitch and I'll be done for." The man yelled loudly, hitting harder with each blow.
I had to pull him off by force, so I put my arms around his neck and dragged him backwards. Only then did I get him off the fat man. I saw a small hole in the fat man's protruding belly caused by the knife, and blood was constantly oozing out of the wound. At this time, the fat man was lying on the ground dying.
I kept pulling away from the strong man, and he kept shouting, "Let me go! I told you to let me go!"
"Can you calm down?" I said.
"Stay the fuck out of my business, or I'll kill you." This man was not from Shanghai and spoke with a Northeastern accent.
"Why can't you tell the difference between good and evil? I'm not only helping him, I'm also helping you." I said angrily.
"Who the hell wants your help? Let me go and don't force me to touch you." He said while holding my arm.
I shouted to the frightened woman who was sitting on the ground without reacting, "Don't be stunned, run quickly." She finally reacted and was about to get up and leave, but unexpectedly the man pulled my hand, arched his back and gave me a big piggyback.
After losing my balance, I did a 36-degree turn and was thrown to the ground by him. The floor was tiled, and my internal organs churned and I almost vomited out blood. However, just as he was about to get up, a full bucket of water was suddenly poured on his head. It was full of ice water. I was lying on the ground and was also soaked a lot. My brain felt refreshed, and my body didn't hurt much anymore.
Chu Sen raised his foot and kicked him, saying, "You really don't know what's good for you. Don't you know how to help me?"
Perhaps it was because his head was soaked in cold water that his excited mood calmed down. He reached out and wiped the ice water off his face, then squatted on the ground in frustration. A moment later, the police and paramedics arrived at the scene and took the injured man away, while the injured fat man was sent to the hospital .
Two officers stayed behind to take statements at the scene, while the rest of the police withdrew. Because the two officers had spoken quietly before, many people present had no idea what had happened and basically just watched the fight. When it was my turn, I recounted what I had heard. One of the officers asked the sobbing woman, "Is this what happened?"
Although she hesitated for a moment, she finally nodded. A voice rang out in the hall. Although everyone spoke in a low voice, they all expressed their dissatisfaction with the woman in a concentrated manner.
In fact, this kind of thing happens countless times every day in the big bathhouse, and there may be "adults and adulterers" among these people. But after learning about this, everyone acted like decent people and condemned the woman for being unfaithful to her husband.
"I'm really confused. You came here to take a shower. How did you bring a dagger in without even putting on any clothes?"
"My husband is a very violent man. He 's a thug back home. He'd hit people if they said something he didn't agree with. He beat me up pretty badly. Police officers, you must give him a heavy sentence. People like him can't be tolerated. If they're released, they'll be a scourge to society."
"You are such a bad person. You actually stabbed your husband in the back. It was your fault first?" Someone was angry and blamed the woman.
When the man did evil, no one stood up to stop him. Now it is the woman's turn, and the "warriors" appear. Of course, there is nothing wrong with their accusations. I also think that this woman is really too much. She cheated first and still asked the police to give her husband a heavy sentence. It is a "blessing for eight lifetimes" for a man to marry such a wife.
"Did you know the man you had contact with before?" the police asked.
"I, I don't know him. Originally, there was a woman sleeping next to me, but then I don't know how it got replaced by a man. I..." She blushed.
"This kind of person has no shame." Someone muttered in a low voice.
"Got it. Your husband is at the police station now. You'll come with us to handle the relevant procedures later. Further treatment will be determined based on the injured person's condition. For now, everyone, please leave here. We need to record the scene."
I rubbed my aching shoulders and said, "What bad luck! The first time I did something brave, I got slapped."
"You were quite brave at the time. You were the only one who took action first among the crowd. If it weren't for you, the fat guy would have been beaten to death by the man."
"But what I'm curious about is why this man brought a dagger into the lounge if he was just here to take a shower? Did he know his wife was going to cheat on him?"
"Yes, I find it strange too. Why would you need to bring a knife when taking a bath?" Chu Sen said.
This was the first time in my life that I "acted bravely to help others", and I received a lot of praise from the "washers". A few girls even came over to take photos with me. One of them had a sweet face and long hair, and she smelled fragrant when she leaned next to me . Especially after taking the photo, she actually kissed me and said, "You are the best." I was a little lost for a moment.
"How come everyone has become your fan? I poured a bucket of water on them, didn't these people see it?" Chu Sen said indignantly.
"I was thrown down by someone, and the crowd was sympathetic, so they chose to comfort me."
"You lost your soul after being kissed by such a beautiful girl, didn't you?"
"Yeah, are you envious?"
"I pay more attention to inner beauty." He said insincerely.
We chatted all the way to the buffet restaurant. Chu Sen didn't go with me to order food. He couldn't eat at all. After that, he didn't eat for seven days and almost suffered from anorexia.
My uncle and I filled our plates and found a place to sit down. My uncle asked, "Have you two figured it out? Do you really want to work in the geotechnical industry?"
"I've figured it out, and I think it very clearly." Chu Sen said without hesitation.
"This is a family business. If my family members can do it, I can do it too," I said.
"But you must understand that earthwork is not an easy job. We might run into risks one day. If the Black Wood Divine Tomb hadn't solved our problem by accident, we would have been in real danger, a life-threatening situation."
"I understand. We are mentally prepared." Chu Sen answered on my behalf.
Uncle nodded and started eating without saying anything else. I guessed that it was probably done. I looked at Chu Sen secretly and felt secretly happy.
After dinner and a short rest, we left the bath center to visit Uncle San. He has recovered very well these days and is now eligible to be discharged from the hospital. After listening to our story of the whole incident, he felt incredible. An imagined crisis was resolved by Yun Hui's accidental
However, Uncle San also raised his question. If the Black Wood God is just a plant, why would it form an illusion of a man in black and be able to talk to people?
My uncle told me a true story about a friend of his. His friend was an Oroqen and an extremely good hunter in the tribe. One year, he heard at least four visitors who went to Changbai Mountain say that they encountered a purple gorilla in a certain section of the mountain. The gorilla had purple hair and was huge in size, with erect fangs and looked very ferocious. These people did not dare to go any further. However, his friend was obsessed with hunting unusual animals. Although he knew that he might be in danger, he still went to the mountains to hunt.
As a result, in the area mentioned by the participant, he really encountered a purple-haired gorilla that was nearly three meters tall. He was brave and not afraid, so he picked up the bow and arrow and shot. Strangely, the gorilla did not fight back, but turned around and ran away. The hunter chased it, but when they reached a forest, the purple-haired gorilla suddenly disappeared before his eyes.
