Chapter 15: The Lost Lamb
Darkness, I felt like I was in endless darkness, and the whole space seemed to be nothing but darkness. I wanted to shout loudly, but found that I could not make any sound at all. I walked in the dark for a long time, to be precise, floating. Because I was shocked to find that I could not see my body at all, all I had was feeling, I knew I existed, but I could not find my place...
Maybe it's ten thousand years, maybe it's just a short moment, I've been wandering in this pure darkness. I want to break it all the time, but I feel powerless and have no idea how to start. I can only linger. I don't know how long this state will last, but I just feel that my spirit is about to collapse!
Suddenly, I saw, no, I probably felt a faint light in front of me, which made me feel very dazzling - although I don’t have eyes now. As if I had been in the dark for billions of years, I was very excited and moved rapidly towards the direction of the light. However, no matter how hard I tried, I could never reach the light. It seemed to be right in front of me, and it seemed as if there was infinite distance! The feeling of being out of reach made me even more uncomfortable. I felt that my spirit was approaching the verge of collapse. I seemed to forget that I could not speak at all, but just subconsciously shouted loudly:
"Let me out!"
At the moment when I shouted, I suddenly felt like I was back in my body. This was completely a feeling, because I tried hard to open my eyes, but I couldn't open it, as if there was a thousand pounds of stone pressing on my eyelids. And I could feel pain, and it was not ordinary pain. My whole body was like burning, hot and spicy, which was completely different from the feeling of having no sense of touch, no smell, and no pain just now.
Although I couldn't open my eyes, I felt my hand was being held, it was so slippery, and then I heard someone shouting in my ear:
"Long wind, long wind! Long wind..."
This sounds like a girl, and I am so familiar with her! But what is her name Changfeng? Is she calling me? My name is "Changfeng"?
Thinking of this, I suddenly realized that I couldn't remember who I was! As I tried to recall the past, my mind suddenly turned into a blank, but not a complete blank, just like a pencil drawing, which was erased by someone with an eraser, leaving a certain trace, but it was broken and messy.
It's so funny! I don't know who I am? Where did I come from? Why is it here? I don't remember anything. My only memory is that I have been wandering in the dark for thousands of years, but I know that this is also likely an illusion...
At this moment, the voice in my ear said again:
"Changfeng, I seemed to hear you talking just now. Have you woken up? Open your eyes and look at me! Do you know that you have been in a coma for a whole month. I see you every day, and every time you lie down like this, without moving..."
I was in extreme confusion. Although I couldn't open my eyes, I felt that this voice was so familiar! I knew that I didn't remember what happened before, but it didn't mean that I was not as good as before. This girl must be very familiar with me. Maybe she could tell me about the past!
Thinking of this, I tried hard to open my eyes again. After several efforts, my eyelids finally moved, but I couldn't open them. The girl obviously saw it and shouted excitedly:
"Changfeng, I saw your eyelids moving. Are you awake? If so, you can move your eyelids again!"
I said to myself: "It's easy for me to move my eyelids! I've used all the strength to eat!"
But no matter how I complain, I can't keep my eyes closed, so I started a difficult journey of opening my eyes again. This time it seemed that the situation was a little better. My eyes opened a crack, and the strong light from outside suddenly shone in. My eyes were stimulated and I subconsciously closed my eyes again. According to what the girl said, I have been in a coma for more than a month, and I haven't seen the sunshine for more than a month. No wonder I felt so uncomfortable just now.
The girl beside her said in a trembling voice:
"Changfeng, you really have a feeling! Oh my God! This is not my hallucination!"
Then I heard a "dongdongdongdong" footsteps gradually fading away, and a faint fragrance disappeared around me. It should be the girl who ran out. Weird, why did I do so excited when I woke up? Could it be that she...is my wife?
Thinking of this, I suddenly realized that I couldn't remember whether I was married... I tried to search for memories, but nothing! Only some images flashed like a flash of cereus, but they disappeared without a trace before I could capture it! The girl's voice just now was the same. I seemed to have found some memories from this voice, but I couldn't say it. This feeling was really uncomfortable. It felt like a person's throat was very itchy, but he couldn't cough out.
After a while, the girl's footsteps came back, and I heard more than one person coming in, the girl said:
"Doctor, I seemed to hear him talking just now, just a short sentence, and it was vague. I was worried that it was an hallucination, so I kept talking in his ear. At this time, I saw his eyelids move. Doctor, is he about to wake up? Or is he already feeling it now?"
The doctor's voice was full of suspicion, he asked:
"Are you sure? When this patient was sent in, we had already determined that he could not be rescued, but his will to survive seemed particularly firm, so he survived miraculously, but if he could wake up in just one month, it would be a bigger miracle!"
The girl said excitedly: "I'm sure! Doctor, I said in his ear: 'If you feel it, just move your eyelids'. As a result, he really moved, and I could see clearly!"
The doctor said, "I'll do a test for him first!"
Then, I felt the doctor walking to my bed, and then he lifted my eyelids. I tossed for a long time but was futile. This time, I asked the doctor to open it easily. I was still very uncomfortable with the light. I subconsciously closed my eyes, and the doctor's hand was there, so I didn't close it all at once. However, the doctor had already felt my movements. He put down his hand, and I naturally closed my eyes. Then I heard the doctor say excitedly:
"You are right! He feels it now! I just opened his eyelids. Before I could even irritate the light, he suddenly couldn't stand the light from the outside because his eyes suddenly wanted to close his eyes. His movements were obvious, and I felt them all, which meant that his consciousness had recovered, but his body was still very weak!"
The girl said excitedly: "Thank you, Doctor! This is the best news I have heard in more than a month!"
The doctor said, "You're welcome... I'll arrange a comprehensive examination now. The patient's condition can only be explained by a miracle! It's so incredible!"
Then his footsteps gradually faded away.
The ward was silent, and the girl hadn't spoken. Although I couldn't see her, I still felt the atmosphere a little awkward. I wanted to open my eyes and see, but I just couldn't do it. Gradually, I heard a burst of sobs and she cried...
I really don’t understand the girl’s mind. It sounds like she has a close relationship with me. She should be happy if I know I’m better!
At this moment, I suddenly felt a sense of fatigue. Thinking of my terrifying experience in the darkness, I felt scared. I was worried that I would return to the state of no heaven, no earth, no time, and no space, but physical fatigue cannot be fought against by myself. Soon, I fell asleep deeply...
Fortunately, I didn't experience the fear from the heart again, but I had many dreams. In the dream, I was struggling to support the bullets; sometimes there was a huge explosion that rumbled, making my ears numb; sometimes I hugged a girl and sat quietly on the beautiful riverside. In the dream, I tried hard to see the girl's face clearly, but it was always hazy...
When I woke up again, I felt that the pain in my body had been relieved a lot, but my eyes could not be opened. I knew that my body must be extremely weak now, otherwise I would not have been in this state. There was a different person talking around me. I seemed to have heard this voice somewhere, he said:
"Boy, I heard that you have recovered well and you have even felt it! I came to see you, and I don't know if you can hear me..."
I shouted in my heart: "You can hear it! Tell me who you are first! It made me confused!"
Of course I couldn't shout out loud, the man said to himself:
"I couldn't help but rush in when I heard the explosion that day. I dug you out in the gravel pestle. You guys are lucky and not buried deep, but you looked scary at that time! I thought you were helpless, but I still carried you away with a glimmer of hope before the police arrived."
I was so anxious! What was he talking about! It seems that I had been through life and death with him. What kind of explosion he just said? Didn’t I also experience the explosion in my dream just now? Is that a fragment of my memory? So who is that girl...
The man continued:
"You kid! Do you know how many hardships we have experienced when we smuggled back! You just lay there unresponsively. The three of us, plus you half-dead boy, almost couldn't come back! In the end, none of us were intact. Fu Chun's injuries were too serious. Later, he was injured and injured. He is still lying in the hospital now! I heard that I can't do heavy work after being discharged from the hospital. I may have to transfer to the local area immediately. Zhou Lixiong and I have calculated that we have been lying in the hospital for half a month. There are also Zhang Xuanbo and Wu Dawei. Their bodies cannot be retrieved. Zhang Xuanbo's child is only three years old, and he cries and calls for his father every day..."
He said a lot of names. Although I had no impression of it at all, I knew that I must have experienced many dangers with them, and even some people died. He was very moved, and a ripples appeared in my heart. Before I went to bed, I was surrounded by a girl who was very close to me. After I woke up from sleep, this should be my companion, a companion who had been born and died together. I can feel the friendship between us, which is the kind of brotherly relationship that can only be cultivated by experiencing life and death together!
At this moment, I have gradually calmed down a little from the extreme hesitation at the beginning. I know that living is a profit, so I can't ask for too much. The only thing I can do now is to take good care of my health, try to open my eyes as soon as possible to see these people who care about me, strive to recover as soon as possible, and then find ways to find myself and regain my memories.
Then the man said a lot again, but I didn't understand it very much, until I felt tired again and fell asleep uncontrollably. Since I regained consciousness, I could only wake up for a while, and then I thought I would sleep for a long time. Maybe I was really very, very weak!
In the next few days, the girl spent a lot of time with me every day and talked to me, but never mentioned who she was. She just told me what interesting things happened around her and what news has happened recently. Although I haven't opened my eyes from beginning to end, and I often fall asleep as I listened, she still kept telling me these things.
To be honest, I would rather she talk about the past more, because it might help me regain my old memories, but for some reason, she hardly talks about the past, and occasionally she talks it for a few words. I can't remember what happened in the past, so she said this to not say it, and I don't know what she said at all.
However, my body has been getting better every day. I can feel the strength in my body gradually coming back. It is no longer like when I woke up, as if I had no bones in my body. From the doctor's words, I also knew the speed of my body recovering. They all exclaimed that this was a miracle!
That day, the girl was still sitting at the head of the bed, telling me the interesting things around her in her nice voice, just like telling stories. I felt very comfortable listening to it and didn't hear clearly what the content was, but this feeling made me very happy.
At this time, I felt that my strength seemed to have increased a lot. I tried to support my eyelids. This time, I opened my eyes with difficulty. The light that shot into my eyes was not as strong as I imagined. I quickly adapted to the environment of the room, but my body still couldn't move, but my eyes were greedily turning around, looking at this long-lost world.
The girl's voice suddenly broke. After a while, she stood up and looked at me excitedly. My neck could not turn, so I could see clearly that the true face of the girl who had been by my side for more than a month. After taking a look, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart:
Chapter completed!
