Deep Sea Diary [Another World]

Chapter 70

He had originally made up his mind that no matter who came, he would pretend to be dizzy until the end, so that no one could wake him up.

As a result, after the strange man asked this question, he changed his mind.

The man's voice was low and slightly hoarse, but it didn't sound like a natural hoarseness, more like it was caused by lack of energy and overwork.This voice was inexplicably familiar to Deep Blue, and he always felt that he seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before.

Human memory is really a very mysterious thing.Sometimes because of a small detail, you can pull out the carrots and bring up the soil, and think of a series of things you thought you had forgotten; and sometimes, a little smell, a sound, or a melody will make people feel in a very short moment. Inexplicably falling into a familiar feeling, and then withdrawing instantly before people can accurately capture that feeling, it's like pulling a wooden pole out of the head of a mule pulling a mill, with a carrot hanging from the head of the pole, It was right in front of my eyes, but I couldn't reach it.

That kind of feeling is really scratching your heart and lungs, if you are a little persistent, you may not be able to sleep if you don't think about it.Shen Lan was naturally not to that extent, she wouldn't scratch her heart and lungs, but she still couldn't lie still.

He paused for a few seconds, then sat up from the bed, adjusted the brightness of the bedside wall lamp, and held Xia Chuan's hand tightly, with no intention of letting go for a while.

The dim light in the room gradually brightened, and Xia Chuan finally saw the face of the man at the door—the man had short black hair that was close to the east, and his skin was very fair. The smell of mixed blood, some green stubble appeared on the corners of his lips and chin, and there were faint traces of beard, which made him more mature, but in fact, he was only 34 or [-] years old at most .

Shen Lan's eyesight is really bad, even if it's only a bed away, he can't see the face of the person at the door very clearly, and the outline is always blurry.But even so, he still felt that the person looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Except for Xia Chuan, Shenlan didn't talk much in front of other people. The acquaintances of Dennis and the others were fine, but he was almost unwilling to speak up in front of strangers.So he just looked at it carefully, but didn't speak rashly.

The person at the door saw two tall men squeezed together on the same bed. He was stunned for a while, his face was a little unnatural for a second, and then he returned to normal with restraint, and continued: "The little boy is about this tall—— He raised his hand and gestured horizontally at the position near the door about his waist, "The hair color is similar to mine, maybe a little lighter, the eyes are big, I like to purse my lips, and I wear a gray-blue jacket."

Xia Chuan shook his head and said, "Sorry, I didn't see it. In fact, we just woke up not long ago, and we have been in a coma before."

The man was stunned, took a step back and looked around the door, and said: "This is the infirmary? You were rescued the day before? Sorry, there is no number plate on the door. Excuse me. You continue to rest, I will go elsewhere Ask."

He nodded and apologized, and then closed the door for Xia Chuan and the others.

As a result, just as he grabbed the doorknob, Shen Lan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Where do you live?"

"Me?" The man was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed to the end of the corridor: "I live in the front, the room marked 109 on the door."

Xia Chuan gave a "hmm", nodded, and continued to speak for Shen Lan: "I will tell you when I see it."

"That's great, thank you." The man thanked him, then closed the door and went out. Deep Blue listened for a while, then pointed to the corridor at Xia Chuan, and said, "Go to Dennis, the little nurse opened the door." It seems that there is still no result."

The sound insulation here is very good for ordinary people like Xia Chuan, but for Shen Lan, they can still hear the movement outside.

Xia Chuan glanced at him, and said, "You know him?" Shen Lan's every move fell into his eyes, and if it was normal, he would be too lazy to take care of such trivial matters that have nothing to do with him.It's a bit abnormal to actually take the initiative to ask the last sentence at this moment.

Shen Lan was taken aback: "How do you know? No, it's just that the face looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before."

"Are you sure?" Xia Chuanchao glanced at the tightly closed door, and said, "But his expression doesn't look like he knows you, could he remember it wrong? Maybe he just looks like someone you've met before?"

Deep Blue shrugged: "Who knows, maybe."

This incident was just a small episode for the two of them, and had no real connection.Even Shenlan stopped caring about familiarity or not in a blink of an eye.

There was nothing else to do that night.

The two of them slept intermittently for a while, and because there was no timekeeping tool in the house, they couldn't figure out what time it was.Not long after they woke up completely, the little nurse Bonnie knocked on the door three times, then opened the door and walked in.

When Shenlan heard her footsteps, she fell down with her head covered, still unconscious, her right hand tightly grasped Xia Chuan's left wrist, pretending to be dead and experienced.

Xia Chuan: "..."

When the little nurse entered the door, she saw Xia Chuan looking down at Shen Lan with a speechless expression on her face. She thought he couldn't bear it, and asked, "Is that gentleman still awake?"

"Oh, it's okay." Xia Chuan raised his head and waved at her.

Bonnie was holding a white square tray with a stethoscope and other things on it. Xia Chuan glanced at it and said, "Do you want to check?"

"Yes!" Bonnie nodded, put the tray on the bedside table, and said to Xia Chuan: "If there is no problem and everything is normal, you don't need to live in the infirmary anymore, after all, the space here is a bit small, isn't it? "

"Is there any spare room?" Xia Chuan asked.

"Yes." Bonnie nodded.

"Do you have a double room?"

"Of course." Bonnie replied as she hung up her stethoscope.

Xia Chuan was very cooperative and let her check it. After a night of recovery, his complexion was much better than before, and he couldn't tell that he was just picked up from the sea a day ago.His side profile was very good-looking, Bonnie glanced at it secretly, and blushed again.

"Everything is normal!" She checked all the items that should be checked one by one, and announced to Xia Chuan with a smile.

"Thank you." Xia Chuan nodded to her politely, and then asked, "If it's convenient, can you arrange a double room for us?"

"Uh, okay, I'll go and ask how many twin rooms are available." Bonnie nodded.

"That's not necessary." Xia Chuan glanced at Shenlan's claws, and said lightly: "The double bed is fine."

The little nurse pointed to Shenlan, and said, "Are you worried that this gentleman still won't wake up and can't separate you? It's actually like this. This gentleman has been in a coma for a long time. If he doesn't wake up by this afternoon, It's been 48 hours, we may have to take some way to separate him from you, you can go to a normal bedroom, and he needs further examination by a doctor."

Xia Chuan felt that Shenlan was holding his hand slightly, and looked down.

After seeing Shen Lan move her fingers twice, she turned over, then slowly opened her eyes, looked at Xia Chuan and Bonnie in a daze, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "...I Where is this?"

The acting is touching.

Xia Chuan: "..."

Bonnie: "..."

Xia Chuan watched him play for 2 minutes speechlessly, then raised his head and said to Bonnie: "It just so happens that he woke up, do you need to check him too? If everything is normal, please arrange a double room for us." world."

Bonnie was stupefied by Shen Lan's acting skills, and after hearing Xia Chuan's words, she realized that she yelled "Oh" twice, walked around to Shen Lan's side with a tray in her hand, and gave him a hand carefully. Check it out.

It wasn't until after a round of investigation that she straightened up and said, "You're fine, just pay attention to rest these two days and relax. Then I'll find someone to arrange a... double room for you?"

She spoke halfway before realizing that Xia Chuan still didn't want two rooms, she was stunned for a moment, and reminded: "The two hands have already separated, so there is no need to squeeze another bed."

As a result, after she finished speaking, she realized that Shenlan was still holding onto Xia Chuan's wrist, and she didn't intend to let go.There can be many reasons for grabbing while in a coma, but when both are awake, one grabs and the other has no special reaction, then it's a bit...

Before she recovered from the daze, Xia Chuan had already raised the hand held by Shen Lan, held it back, shook it at Bonnie, and said calmly: "I think the double room is more suitable." , what do you say?"

Bonnie: "..."

The little nurse was already a little dazed, but when she heard this, she was suddenly stunned, as if she had been blown into a wandering spirit, and after a moment of silence, she nodded with a blank expression: "Yes, a double room is more suitable... "

After she finished speaking, she floated out again with a blank face, and just two steps away, Shen Lan called her to stop: "Wait, you forgot your tray."

The little nurse gave another "Oh" with a blank expression, floated back to the bed, and picked up the tray.

"By the way, is my companion in the next room awake?" Xia Chuan asked after thinking about it.

"Ah?" The little nurse who had just floated to the door and held the doorknob turned around slowly, and then reflexively said: "I woke up, I just woke up for a while."

"Okay, thank you." Xia Chuan nodded.

Bonnie floated out of the door, and said like a wandering soul: "No thanks, it should be, I will arrange rooms for you..."

"It's over." Seeing that she had closed the door, Shen Lan turned to Xia Chuan and said, "I was so scared."

Xia Chuan gave him an angry look.

The two were fine, and when they heard that Dennis had woken up, they got out of bed and washed up in the bathroom.When they were picked up from the sea, the clothes on their bodies were probably already out of shape, and it was unknown whether it was the doctor or the nurse who helped them change into a set of loose hospital gowns.

They boarded the boat empty-handed, so naturally they had no other clothes to change, so they simply walked out dressed like this, intending to knock on the door next door.

As a result, he ran into another man who was about to knock on the door.

The man was tall and strong, with deep eye sockets, a straight nose bridge, a slightly thick lower lip, and the corners of the mouth were slightly downward. He looked so serious that he was almost fierce.Although he is wearing a white coat and holding a folder in his hand, he looks like an assistant doctor, but it still gives people a sense of disobedience in temperament. I always feel that this kind of person is more suitable for wearing a black suit and holding a gun. Some.

Xia Chuan met this person in front of the door of the ward where Dennis lived, and both of them were taken aback.

"Gerald?" Xia Chuan was surprised after seeing the man's appearance, and said, "Why are you here?"

Gerald Weimer, compared to this name, Xia Chuan is still more accustomed to Dennis calling him - that German guy with a straight face all day long.

He can barely be regarded as Xia Chuan's half acquaintance, because Xia Chuan will go to Gerald's clinic every one or two months to treat all kinds of difficult wounds, except that they have some necessary information about the wounds during the treatment process. Outside of exchanges, there is hardly any other dialogue.

Xia Chuan is relatively cold by nature, and Gerald is a typical taciturn person. When these two people get together, in Dennis's words, it is like the cooling effect of the Antarctic glacier accumulation zone. If they don't freeze to death, they will be half disabled.

However, Dennis, a masochist, likes to be the one who freezes to death. He often intervenes in the middle, saying a few words for this one, and then saying a few words for that one.

Maybe most of the masters who talk about people like this are eating Dennis's set, so neither of them had the idea of ​​gagging Dennis's mouth and throwing his body out, so that the guy can live longer like this For two or three years.

Xia Chuan originally thought that the shipwreck in Bermuda was the last meeting between him and this German doctor, but he unexpectedly ran into him here.

If Gerald was wearing the same hospital gown as them when they met, Xia Chuan might not be so surprised.But Gerald was wearing a doctor's white coat.

"How did you escape?" Xia Chuan couldn't help asking, "Didn't the ship sink? How could you—" How could you stand here intact?

Gerald remained as unsmiling as ever. He flipped through the patient information in his hand, and said, "It just so happens that you are not dead, and you are standing here intact?" After speaking, he looked up from the patient information At first, he glanced at Xia Chuan, but he didn't even glance at the dark blue that he didn't recognize at all.

He raised his chin towards the door of the ward, and said, "Are you sure we want to stand at the door and gossip about the current situation?"

Of course, Xia Chuan didn't have that idea. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. He was about to turn the doorknob when he felt the door was opened from the inside. The tall man was startled and almost threw the tray out.

"Be careful." Gerald raised his hand expressionlessly to help her touch the bottom of the tray.

The little nurse responded quickly, then turned her body sideways to get out of the way, allowing Gerald and the others to enter the room, while she trotted away against the wall.

As soon as Xia Chuan entered, Dennis sat up from the bed.He was also wearing the same hospital gown as Xia Chuan and Dark Blue, and his complexion looked slightly worse than Xia Chuan's and the others, probably because he had just woken up from a coma and hadn't recuperated properly.

"Are you awake?!" Dennis yelled, "I just woke up and wanted to rush to your room, but the little nurse stopped me and said that you were still sleeping, Overlord—eh? Are you still unconscious, Overlord?! Why did you wake up?! Why are you still following the doctor? Didn’t the little nurse just tell me that everything is normal? Why did you call the doctor again..."

When he said this, he just saw the back of the doctor who lowered his head and closed the door behind the dark blue, but when he was about to finish speaking, the doctor in the white coat turned around.

Dennis: "...Wait! Am I hallucinating?!"

He looked at Xia Chuan in horror: "I haven't woken up yet, try hitting me!"

Xia Chuan: "..."

Gerald walked towards his bed with a blank expression. Dennis shrank himself in a corner for a moment, looked at him with a green face and shouted: "Are you a man or a ghost?!"

"You expect me to die that much?" Gerald raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then said concisely: "Lie down!"

Dennis glanced at Xia Chuan, then stretched his neck and barely lay flat on the bed.Gerald put on the mask and raised his hand to check it again for Dennis.

Xia Chuan stood against the wall with his arms folded, his attention was on Gerrard's hand, but when Gerrard's hand was about to fall on Dennis, Xia Chuan felt his peripheral vision blur, and a figure suddenly ran past him Going out, he rushed straight to Gerald who was beside the bed, and then punched the one with a serious face down on the bed.

"Deep Blue!" Xia Chuan obviously did not expect such a change. When he made another move, he had already bent a step. Gerald had already been beaten three times by Deep Blue, and he was curled up on Dennis' hospital bed.

"What's going on! Hey! Why did they start fighting all of a sudden! Don't fight! Hey!" Dennis, who was lying on the bed, was startled by the godly spread, but because his legs were being pressed by Gerald who was lying down Because of this, there is no way to stand up and fight.

Fortunately, Xia Chuan's movements were quick and his skills were strong.And he is also the only one who can hold back Deep Blue.

He quickly inserted himself between the two of them, hugged Deep Blue, and locked his movements so that he could no longer press Gerald on the bed and beat him hard.Taking advantage of this gap, Gerald, who was hugging his stomach, slid from the bed to the side, temporarily out of the attacking range of Deep Blue.

"What's the matter?" Xia Chuan didn't let go of Shen Lan immediately, but still kept the posture of locking him, and asked.

Deep Blue panted heavily, and his chest heaved violently. The few punches just now did not make him feel tired. This kind of reaction can only be due to being too excited or angry.

This surprised both Xia Chuan and Dennis.

In fact, although Shenlan is not particularly easy to get close to, she is definitely not a difficult person to get along with.After they got acquainted with Deep Blue, they basically never saw him get angry a few times, otherwise Dennis wouldn't have dared to fight long and short.

Mood swings to the extent today have never happened before.

Deep Blue's strength is already great, even though Gerrard has been hiding, Xia Chuan stopped the fight, and the beating was still not much better.

Seeing Gerald sitting on the ground beside the bed, half paralyzed, coughing faintly while clutching his abdomen, he was a little out of breath after coughing for a while, so he raised his hand and took off the mask.It's just such a simple movement, but it seems to have cost him a lot of strength.

He panted for a long time before he recovered some strength, looked up at Shenlan, and said, "Have I offended you?"

Xia Chuan and Dennis were also puzzled. They looked at Shenlan and waited for him to answer, but Shenlan stared in Gerald's direction, his eyes changed from anger to hesitation.

"I really don't remember seeing you. There are too many people coming and going in the consulting room. Could it be that your family has seen a doctor at my place?" Gerald said to Shen Lan, holding a mask, "I don't think I have done it before. There are no illegal operations, and no patients have been misdiagnosed."

Even after being punched a few times and sitting on the ground with injuries, Gerrard still showed no emotion. Except for his face being a little ugly because of the pain, it was the same as usual, and even his tone was still the same. lukewarm.

Shenlan still stared at him firmly, but still didn't say a word.

"Sorry." Xia Chuan glanced at him, and said to Gerald: "The punches he just had were not light, you'd better find another doctor to have a look. If it's convenient, I'll take him back to the room to ask. If there is a misunderstanding, I must apologize and make up for it.”

Gerald frowned, pressed for a while, and then stood up with some difficulty propping up the corner of the bed, and said, "No, I know it myself, I'll take a step first, you can talk here, of course, if it turns out to be a If there is a misunderstanding, compensation will be waived, and an apology will suffice.”

He finished speaking with a cold face, rejected Dennis' offer to get out of bed to help, leaned on the wall by himself, and walked away step by step.

"What's going on...?" Xia Chuan asked after counting that Gerald had gone far away, letting go of the dark blue that was locked by him.

Shen Lan silently stared at the closed door for a long time, then turned to look at Xia Chuan, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The way he wears a mask makes me feel very...disgusted."

Dennis: "...Just because of disgust?"

Xia Chuan glanced at Dennis, and then turned his gaze to Shen Lan. He was not in a hurry to answer the words, because he always felt that Shen Lan hadn't finished what he said, but he was a little hard to express.

"I don't know how to describe it." Sure enough, Deep Blue spoke again, and said, "When he was wearing a mask and a white coat, I always felt like I was going to remember something, but before I remembered the complete scene, I The first thing I felt was a wave of uncontrollable anger and... hate?"

He thought for a while, and then said: "Maybe it's disgust."
