Plague Doctor

"The lottery is drawn once every five minutes, twelve times an hour, and two hundred and eighty-eight times a day..."

Creep, creak, the tires of the yellow bicycle pressed against the concrete floor of the basketball court and the people on the bicycle murmured something. The three old men who were resting on the benches on the sidelines were suddenly blown by a gust of cold wind during the day, and they opened their sleepy eyes one after another.

One of the bald old men stood up to leave, but saw something surprising.

Beside the basketball court, there were many people walking from all directions, including people in wheelchairs, people on crutches, children and the elderly.

"Lame Lei?" the old man shouted to one of the old men in a wheelchair, "What's going on?"

Lailei is a patient with the sequelae of polio. He has bad legs and feet and has been in a wheelchair since he was a child. As a result, he has been a bachelor all his life. However, he is optimistic and positive. He is very good at chess and has friendships with many old men in the village. Now Lai Lei's old face was filled with a completely different indifference.

Suddenly, Chen Xing, who was riding in a circle, turned around again, and the front of the car almost hit the old man.

But the old man was pulled away by Gu Jun who was prepared, "Old man, be careful, you come to our side first."

"Little devil..." The old man cursed in fear at Chen Xing who was driving away. The other two old men on the chair were also picked up by Cao Yicong and others. They were all puzzled. The afternoon sun was shining brightly. What were these things? How come people who usually don’t even leave their homes gather here...

Gu Jun knew more about how bad the current situation had suddenly become. The signal was completely lost. He tried to have a spiritual dialogue with Wu Shiyu who stayed at the base of the Medical Department. They could now speak about twenty sentences a day. The number of times today It's useless.

But now it's not as clever as usual. The first sentence is vague, like a radio that can't receive a signal. I don't know if it can succeed:

"Xianyu, there may be a space distortion happening here. I suspect that the otherworldly passage is in the main alley of Anfu Village."

The area around the basketball court looks unchanged. The low village houses are still low village houses, but they are much quieter than before. Although it is late afternoon, it should not be so quiet. There is a group gathering in front of the house in the distance. The three aunts and six women chatting away are gone. If you look further away, you seem to see dark clouds covering everything.

This may be another space overlap, another area of ​​mutation.

The smell of danger is already permeating the air.

"Vice Captain Cao, let's leave here first and try to return the way we came."

Gu Jun paid attention to his surroundings as he spoke. Chen Xing was still spinning around. The burned girl Lu Jiamin was still standing there. Liang Tao, Pengzi, Lai Lei and others were getting closer and closer. The hunchbacked old woman Ah Mu was almost in front of them. He smiled, showing his incomplete yellowed teeth, "Do you want to go somewhere? I'll take you there."

This old man with Down syndrome is hunched over and only about one meter tall. He is old, thin, and has a wrinkled smile.

It doesn't take a grown man, just a naughty boy with enough strength to knock her down and kick her over.

But in a daze, Gu Jun seemed to see a giant beast, and the breath of the giant beast made his skin tighten instinctively.

why why……

"I know everyone here. Wherever you want to go, I will take you there."

Ah Mu said again, he was already less than five steps away from them, and Cao Yicong and the others who were on guard had their pistols pointed at them, but they were still cheerful and not afraid.

"Old man, we know the way." Gu Jun responded, looking at Ah Wu's wrinkled smiling face, his head suddenly felt a little swollen and painful.

Cao Yicong could also see something strange about Ah Mu. She was standing in front of them, but her old and thin body seemed to be able to block them.

Seeing the gleaming pistol, several old men were stunned. Is this a real gun? As soon as the bald old man came to his senses, he quickly said: "Ah Wu, what are you doing here? Go home and stop hanging out." ." The old man also had good intentions and didn't want Ah Mu to die for no reason.

"I want to lead the way." But Ah Mu said, her smile getting weirder as Chen Xing turned around again, "They don't know the way."

It was her facial muscles that had been relaxed for a long time, and they were beating slightly, and the beating amplitude was getting bigger and bigger, almost becoming a spasm.

"That's one hundred and five thousand one hundred and twenty times a year. As long as you earn one yuan each time, you will have one hundred thousand yuan..."

Chen Xing's muttering became louder and louder, revealing more and more fanaticism, "Why do I need to work? I earn more than you all..."

Gu Jun felt a sharp pain in his head, as if something was gushing out. A large number of scenes overlapped, making his whole body stiff for a moment.

A wrinkled face, a cry of fear, a strange figure... surrounded by a black mist, which condensed into a viscous liquid, fell into an old-style blue and white bowl, and was covered by a pair of claw-like old men. Holding it in his hands, it was Ah Mu.

But in the chaos of the scene, it seemed like Chen Xing was holding the bowl, it seemed like Liang Tao, it seemed like Lailei, it seemed like it was Lu Jiamin...

These figures put the bowl to their mouths, and the black mucus in the bowl stirred up some fine bubbles.

Gudong, Gudong, the black mucus slipped into the mouth and into the throat. The innocent and childlike smile on the old face of the old man first smiled wider, as if praising the good taste, but then every expression on his face Every wrinkle is popping out, and the entire face is rapidly swelling, distorting, and changing under the flow of black liquid.

Ah Mu cried loudly, calling for mother, mother...

Her mother has passed away long ago. Her mother treated her very well. Her mother took care of this daughter with congenital defects until her own death. Her mother did not treat her even until her death.

The daughter felt relieved, fearing that once she left, no one would take care of her anymore, and even her relatives would only consider her a burden.

But her mother never gave her a so-called healthy body.

He brought her into this world but didn't give her enough power.

"Mom, mom!" Ah Mu suddenly shouted, and a sudden change occurred. Several old men were stunned as their power was cut off. Gu Jun couldn't bear it and said decisively: "Shoot!" Ah Mu's whole body swelled, and his hunched back suddenly A huge sharp bone spur burst out.

Now she had another mother, a mother who gave her new life.

At that time, I drank black liquid and cried in pain. It was the first time a newborn cried when he came into the world. She lived until she was seventy-three years old before finally getting a taste of it.

Bang, bang, bang!

Gunfire broke out, and Cao Yicong and the others opened fire on the old man.

Blood spattered out, but Ah Mu continued to swell.

At this time, Chen Xing made another circle and drove his bicycle straight towards them, crashing into them.

"Sea view villa in District 1, that's enough, that's enough..."

Love the Plague Doctor.
