People always say,
Suffering is a fortune.
Actually..,
Most of the time, this could only be regarded as a cheap, expired anesthetic to boost one's morale.
Because there seemed to be a pattern.
Those who suffer,
Misfortunes always come one after another.
One after another,
The second tribulation followed closely behind.
Then, he was knocked unconscious by the pain …
The old priest was taken away by the police and had to cooperate with them in some investigations. In Old Zhang's words, it was actually just a process. It was nothing.
Zhou Ze did not drive back to the bookstore. Instead, he followed the ambulance to the hospital.
He did not know why he had followed them.
For the sake of that little bit of sympathy that he had managed to muster up with great difficulty?
So..,
Zhou Ze, who parked his car in the hospital parking lot,
He had been sitting in the car thinking about this problem.
Zhou Ze spent more than an hour in deep thought. He soon felt hungry. He wanted to go back to the bookstore for dinner.
Most importantly, he couldn't think of anything.
Coincidentally,
He saw Wang Ke's car drive into the hospital again, but this time, the two kids were not inside.
Wang Ke seemed to have noticed Zhou Ze's car and deliberately parked his car next to Zhou Ze's.
When he got out of the car, Zhou Ze saw Wang Ke holding some fruits and candies in his hands.
Zhou Ze also got out of the car.
He asked,
"You didn't bring any soup?"
"Oh, right!"
Wang Ke really opened the car door again.
He took out a thermos flask.
"I brought broth."
Wang Ke said with a smile.
Zhou Ze was speechless.
Yes,
I know your family can lack anything.
However, there would definitely be no shortage of meat soup.
"Shall we go and take a look together?" Wang Ke asked.
"Yes."
Since he was already here, he might as well go up and take a look.
Otherwise, why would he come here to think about life like an idiot?
They took the elevator to the fifth floor of the inpatient department. There was an independent ward with two policemen guarding the door.
When Wang Ke went over, he showed his ID. On Zhou Ze's side, the two policemen actually knew Zhou Ze because of Zhang Yanfeng, so they went in directly.
The doctor had just checked the girl's body, and she was now on a drip.
The girl had changed into a new set of clothes and had probably wiped her body. She was lying on the bed with a pale face, but she was much calmer than when she was in the storeroom.
"Do you still remember me?
Uncle, I came to see you. I brought you something to eat. "
Wang Ke said gently.
The girl was obviously not afraid of Wang Ke.
After all, Wang Ke was in this line of work.
If he did not have the ability to obtain affinity and favorability,
What was there left to do?
However..,
Wang Hua had just put down the things.
He stepped aside.
When the girl lying on the bed saw Zhou Ze coming in from behind,
He actually struggled to sit up on the bed.
If it weren't for Wang Ke's quick reflexes,
Perhaps the girl would fall off the bed.
"Calm down, calm down. What do you want? I'll get it for you. I'll get it for you."
Wang Ke quickly comforted him.
Who knew.
The girl's eyes were fixed on Zhou Ze.
He even reached out to grab Zhou Ze.
Wang Ke was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhou Ze in surprise. His eyes seemed to say, "I didn't expect you to be so popular with girls."
Zhou ze shrugged,
He walked to the bedside.
The girl grabbed his hand.
The girl immediately calmed down.
"Maybe this body of mine looks good."
"Hehe."
Wang Ke nodded, but he did not continue to pursue this topic. He did not really like to talk about that with Zhou Ze, because his daughter was also …
"Can you communicate normally?" Zhou Ze asked Wang Ke.
Wang Ke shook his head. "Not only was she tortured, but she also suffered a blow to the head. She was diagnosed with a concussion, which might cause a certain degree of amnesia. Coupled with this experience, sigh.
The police did not know exactly how long the girl had been locked up. After all, most of the people who knew were dead. That fool in his thirties could not say anything.
"But according to the clues provided by the owner of the hardware store at the entrance of the village, four months ago, the mistress went to his store to buy a large copper lock and a dog chain."
Four months..
Zhou Ze lowered his head and looked at the girl who was sitting on the bed and looking at him eagerly, afraid that he would disappear. He felt a little helpless and a little regretful.
A girl at this age.
If she was born in a normal family.
She would still be in the state where she would shout when she saw a cockroach.
But now, she had experienced this.
"Do you know, she …"
Zhou Ze paused after saying that.
Because he suddenly remembered that this was not suitable to tell Wang Ke.
"She's pregnant."
Wang Ke said directly.
His expression was normal.
His tone was normal.
Everything was normal.
Sometimes, the most maddening thing about Wang Ke was.
It was that he was really, really normal!
At this moment, Zhou Ze received a call. It was from the old priest. He said that his matter at the police station was over and that he was preparing to return to the bookstore. Zhou Ze replied.
He hung up the phone.
Zhou Ze found that Wang Ke was already peeling candy for the girl.
The girl was also eating.
But her eyes were still staring at him.
"She hit it off with you."
Wang Ke sighed.
"Just like a new life that has just hatched from an eggshell, it will feel a sense of intimacy and attachment to the first creature it sees when it breaks out of the eggshell.
"You saved her, didn't you?
Perhaps. "
"It's fate.
Because leaving that place was equivalent to a new life for her. "
"There's no scientific basis for this," Zhou Ze said.
"But isn't it the truth?"
"Oh, the first person to go in. The first person she saw wasn't me. It was the old priest."
"..." the old priest.
This..,
Really seemed to be one.
A world that looked at one's face coldly.
Wang Ke was disappointed for a while and said, "Perhaps, the old priest is too old."
Silence.
Silence.
Zhou Ze leaned against the bed and sat down.
The girl took the initiative to spit out the candy she had just held in her mouth into her palm.
She wanted to send it to Zhou Ze's mouth.
Share it with Zhou Ze!
"..." Zhou Ze.
The girl looked at Zhou Ze expectantly.
She was like a little girl with a lowered IQ.
There seemed to be only some instincts left.
In the face of such an expectant gaze.
In the face of such a pitiful girl.
In the face of such a sad and heart-wrenching atmosphere.
Zhou Ze opened his mouth.
He said directly,
"Dirty."
"..." Wang Ke.
The girl seemed to have sensed Zhou Ze's displeasure.
She didn't put the candy in Zhou Ze's mouth.
She sat on the bed in disappointment, but her other hand was still tightly holding Zhou Ze's wrist.
"Try to communicate with her. Actually, this state of hers can be considered a psychological response to self-protection.
She was instinctively avoiding this world, avoiding contact with the outside world, and even avoiding herself. That was why this happened.
"We have to slowly peel off the cocoon in her heart and protect her so that she has the courage to face the world and the sunlight again."
Seeing that the girl had such a good impression of Zhou Ze, Wang Ke obviously treated Zhou Ze as his assistant.
"What's your name?"
Zhou Ze asked.
The girl was silent. She seemed to be thinking about this question.
Then …
She grabbed Zhou Ze's hand.
She slowly let go.
In her eyes …
Panic began to appear.
Fear began to appear.
She began to struggle.
Her body also began to tremble.
It was as if all of a sudden …
She was on the verge of collapse!
Wang Ke immediately stood up.
He covered the girl's eyes with one hand.
His other hand caressed the girl's back.
His mouth began to whisper.
This should be a hypnosis method.
Slowly …
The girl's trembling began to calm down.
The girl also slowly leaned back.
Her eyes were still open.
But her eyes were just staring at the ceiling.
"Sigh, the mental injury is too serious. Under such circumstances, the mental injury is often more serious and troublesome than the mental injury.
I've dealt with many similar cases. The cure rate is really not high. "
Wang Ke took off his glasses and wiped them with a tissue. He sighed.
"Many people seem to have been cured, but not long after, they will choose to commit suicide because of some kind of stimulation.
That was because for a very long time, they had been living a life worse than death. It had left a deep imprint in the depths of their hearts.
Even if ordinary people occasionally had the thought of committing suicide, it would only be temporary. In fact, it was a very dangerous state. Just like being poisoned, a little bit might not matter.
However, once it reaches a certain level, it will be very difficult. "
"Do your best," Zhou Ze said.
Wang Ke smiled bitterly and said, "Her situation is the most serious one. For example, she was abused and forced every day. This kind of stress self-protection mechanism will always exist.
It's like an antibody, do you understand?
However …
It's impossible for anyone to abuse her now, and no one will force her anymore.
She has returned to her normal living environment.
This self-protection will slowly disappear.
And then …
After losing her shell …
The real her …
How should she face this world? "
"It's okay. Do your best. I have a friend who is good at hypnosis. I'll ask him to come over and take a look."
"Okay."
Zhou Ze thought of lawyer an.
He stayed in the ward for a while. The sky was already dark, and the police outside had already been rotated. Zhou Ze saw that Wang Ke still did not plan to leave and continued to accompany the girl. Zhou Ze did not ask him to come with him. Instead, he walked out of the ward first.
While waiting for the elevator …
Zhou Ze's phone rang.
It was the old Daoist.
"Hello."
"Hello, Boss …"
The old Daoist's voice was trembling.
"What's Wrong?
Did something happen at the shop? "
"No, no, there's business at the shop …"
"Then why is your voice trembling?"
"I … I … I … Hahahahahaha!!!
Sob Sob … "
The old Daoist suddenly laughed out loud.
Then, he laughed and cried again.
"What's Wrong?"
The old Daoist's tone suddenly became low. With a twisted sense of anger, he roared in a tone that was so suppressed that it was about to be torn apart.
"Boss, those four bastards are f * cking eight generations of his ancestors.
Their dead souls …
Actually came to our bookstore! "
