Antidote - Chapter 88

Mi Jinger went downstairs first, Cheng Ke erased the unsightly picture on the sand painting platform. Fortunately, he used his left hand unskilledly and painted a bit abstractly. If his right hand…

He washed his face in the bathroom on the third floor, sorted his emotions, and went downstairs.

Mi Jinger and Hui Hui, who had just arrived at the front desk, had already talked to the guests almost, leaving only a few details that he needed to confirm.

After Cheng Ke confirmed that the guest paid the prepayment and left, he sat at the table and listened to the rice grains and Hui Hui finalized some things to be prepared and began to discuss the wine making.

“Are we going to make wine?” Cheng Ke asked.

“Brother Xu said that you can get a little, a small amount, if you are cooked, you can give it a little. What kind of beer, fruit wine, and wine is home-brewed,” said Mi Jinger. They put it here and they can drink it when they come.”

“Well.” Cheng Ke nodded.

After listening in silence for a while, the rice grain is not, mainly Huihui to operate, it sounds like her hobby is brewing.

“That,” Cheng Ke hesitated for a few seconds, and said, “Hui Hui.”

“What’s the matter brother?” Hui Hui looked at him.

“Have you ever made strawberry wine?” Cheng Ke asked.

“It has been brewed, I have used almost all the materials that can be used for brewing,” Hui Hui turned to discuss with the rice grains, “then add a strawberry bar.”

“Can you teach me?” Cheng Ke said, “I want to… try it.”

“Do you want to play or drink,” Hui Hui said, “If you want to drink, I’ll brew it for you, or you’ll have to buy a bottle or something yourself, it’s very troublesome.”

“I’m going to give it away.” Cheng Ke said.

Give it to a **** who doesn’t know when it will come back.

On the eighth day of Jiang Yuduo’s escape, he wanted to torture him in various poses.

Cheng Ke squatted on the ground and looked at the things in front of him face-to-face with Meow.

A basket of strawberries, a bag of rock sugar, a bottle of wine, a bottle of wine, and a few bags of yeast.

He just bought strawberry and rock sugar from the supermarket, and the yeast was given to him by Huihui. The wine bottles were purchased online. After the brewing, the bottle used to hold the wine was asked by Xu Dingding to help him get it from a friend who plays with glass. It is very simple. Clear circle shape.

Today things are all ready to start production.

“Wash the strawberries, go to the stems, and dry them,” Cheng Ke looked at the preparation method Hui Hui wrote to him on the phone. “I grew up so much, I have never made these except to learn to cook instant noodles and eggs, and I still make wine. Such an advanced job.”

He picked up a strawberry, pinched one, and handed it to Miao’s mouth: “Do you eat it?”

Meow leaned over and smelled for a long time, and then stretched out his paws and held the strawberry to begin to nibble, biting into it, his eyes were squinted, and the chin hair was full of juice.

“The cat still eats strawberries?” Cheng Ke was a little surprised. “Does your brother know you are so greedy?”

Meow ignored him and continued to nibble.

But Cheng Ke didn’t have any interest in talking about it. Talking alone and chatting with a cat about its owner made him feel lonely, especially the cat didn’t give a response, just to eat.

He’s just like a cat. You are there, you are not there. When you come back, I will wrap your tail around your ankles. If you come back, I will eat the strawberry that someone gave me.

The strawberries were washed and hung well. It took a long time. His left hand was already inflexible. Even if it was washed, he still had to go to the pedicle… Can it be poisoned by eating it with the pedicle! In the end, every strawberry stem was bitten by his teeth.

Cheng Ke put the bitten strawberry into a wine-making bottle according to the production method that he had almost memorized. Ten pounds of strawberry and two pounds of sugar were poured into it. The yeast was activated with warm sugar boiling water…

Then there is the crushed strawberry.

He put on gloves and pinched in the bottle.

There was a small open space outside the kitchen window. At the age of three and a half, he was riding a cart around, not knowing what to sing.

Cheng Ke looked a little surprised.

He doesn’t like children very much, but at three and a half years old, he looks very cute and not annoying, mainly because… Jiang Yuduo often mentions this child.

So in a sense, the three and a half years old was connected with Jiang Yuduo.

After the strawberries were all crushed and soaked, Cheng Ke put the bottle next to the radiator, which was considered good.

The next thing to do is to wait.

Wait for the strawberry wine to brew.

Wait for the man who drinks strawberry wine to come back.

The sun is very good, Jiang Yuduo is sitting on the chair by the window, his eyes can’t be opened.

“How’s it going?” Sister Luo sat across the small table.

“Very good,” Jiang Yuduo said. “Sleep is quite normal. I fell asleep without taking medicine yesterday.”

“This is the song you want to listen to,” Sister Luo put an mp3 on the table. “I’ve saved it all. I’ll change it if I’m tired of it.”

“Well.” Jiang Yu snatched his head and took it and plugged in the headphones and listened.

“I didn’t buy you cigarettes. I’ll bring them to you next time,” Sister Luo said with a smile. “Did Dr. Li let you smoke less?”

“Well,” Jiang Yuduo held out four fingers, “I promised him, four in a day.”

“Can you persist?” Luo asked.

“Yes,” Jiang Yuduo said, “these aren’t things…you accompany me to walk in the yard?”

“Okay.” Sister Luo stood up.

Walking to the courtyard, Jiang Yuduo obviously felt relieved.

The hospital, no matter what kind of hospital, even such a hospital that is very different from the hospital, will make him afraid.

He didn’t think he would take the initiative to ask in one day.

It wasn’t until yesterday that he could barely fall asleep without drugs. He even sat in the bed angle for the first two nights.

Doctor Li talked to him about the fear of the hospital.

He has a lot of things that he doesn’t want to think about, and he clearly remembers the paragraph that has been forcibly erased and can no longer be remembered. He has to face it.

He chose to be hospitalized, chose to tear the wound, and chose to tell himself that this is a memory that will go with him all his life, so he has to bear the pain that will not stop every second now.

The night after the chat, he spent the whole night intertwined between sobriety and illusion, unable to distinguish dream and reality.

The picture was so real that his breathing became difficult.

He was lying in a bright room, with a messy voice, shaking figures, he turned his head hard, and could see another bed from the middle of the curtain that was not tightened.

A lot of blood.

Doctor Li told him that it was a policeman.

He couldn’t remember the face of the man, how tall and tall he was, he was fat or thin, what was his name, and he couldn’t even remember the voice when he called out “Jiang Yuduo fast running”.

But he remembered the blood, the temperature protecting his body.

There was also a lengthened “drop–“.

He clearly felt the life that was lost because of him.

Bright lights, the smell of lingering disinfection water, the swaying figure in the white eyes, the sound of the instrument “didi”, all these are connected with death because of him, and become the only one Connection.

He was afraid of these, and even more afraid of the next person like this.

Later, in those days, those who got acquainted with him day by day, and left one by one and disappeared, and never appeared again, made him uneasy and frightened.

When Cheng Ke began to become a slowly inherent part of his life, he began to be nervous, and the “disappearance” again seemed inevitable, and when he realized that he might make Cheng Ke truly “disappear”, this kind of uneasiness Reached the peak.

Cheng Ke, who left him, is safe and will not disappear, but Cheng Ke, who left him, also has no trace.

“Recently,” Jiang Yuduo and Sister Luo walked slowly along the path in the yard. He lit a cigarette and counted himself. The third one today, “Cheng Ke… Have you ever contacted you?” ?”

“No,” Sister Luo said. “After finishing the phone call with him that day, he never contacted me again.”

“Did you tell him?” Jiang Yuduo asked.

“Tell him what?” Sister Luo patted gently on his back. “Tell him where are you? Or tell him I can’t tell you about your situation?”

“Can’t say.” Jiang Yuduo said.

“Tell him.” Sister Luo nodded.

Jiang Yuduo was a little disappointed when he heard this sentence, but he paused for a while and breathed a sigh of relief: “So he wanted to find me… and he didn’t know where to look, right?”

“Yes,” Sister Luo smiled. “He was worried because of you, so when I said he couldn’t tell him, he was a little unhappy.”

Jiang Yuduo rubbed his lips.

“I… I don’t want him to see,” he frowned. “I don’t want him to know how I… was treated.”

“Hmm.” Sister Luo nodded.

“He only knew that I had a mental problem,” Jiang Yuduo bit his lip, “but it still feels different to see me living in a mental hospital.”

“Not as serious as you think.” Sister Luo smiled.

“I don’t want him to feel so intuitive,” Jiang Yuduo said softly, “will scare him away.”

“He may not have intuitive feelings,” Luo said, “You can’t hide it all the time, right?”

“You said,” Jiang Yuduo turned his head, “when I go back, will he…have gone?”

“Why do you think so?” Sister Luo asked.

“I can’t wait for him to leave,” Jiang Yuduo wrinkled his eyebrows, looked down at the small stones on the road, one by one, the first one he saw, and blinked, he couldn’t find it. “He’s a great young man, he’s always quite…he is very good to me, but this kind of thing…”

“Xiao Jiang,” Sister Luo stopped, “He told me a sentence before, let me tell you at the right time.”

“What’s the matter?” Jiang Yuduo stared at her anxiously.

“Xiao Cheng said he would not go anywhere.” Sister Luo said.

“He doesn’t go anywhere.” Jiang Yuduo repeated softly.

“Huh.” Sister Luo nodded.

Jiang Yuduo hasn’t spoken for a long time, and this sentence has been repeated in his mind. He can imagine the expression and tone of Lai Ke’s words.

“I don’t go anywhere.”

If it wasnt for Sister Luo, he might say, “Im not going to **** anywhere.”

Jiang Yuzhuo smiled.

This was the first time he wanted to laugh after he quietly ran away. He didn’t twitch his lips and didn’t squeeze a smile. When he thought of Cheng Ke’s tone, he smiled so naturally and subconsciously.

But tears also slipped down.

He quickly turned to the beginning and quickly wiped his hand on his eyes.

When tears are not needed, he can recover his emotions within a few seconds.

He has a lot of skills derived from pain, just like the pain itself, embedded in his life.

Turning his head back, he knew he had no tears, but he still couldn’t hold back that sentence.

“I miss him very much.” Jiang Yuduo said softly, “I miss him especially.”

“I know, I know,” Sister Luo’s voice was soft, “Should I tell him this sentence?”

“No,” Jiang Yu snatched his eyes and refused very simply. “I don’t want him to feel sorry for me, nor do he want him to feel bad for me.”

“Okay.” Sister Luo nodded.

On the 20th day of Jiang Yuduo’s escape, he wanted to use shameless tools on him.

Cheng Ke was sitting in a small room on the third floor, facing the window. There are many guests today. In the afternoon, there are expressions of sand paintings. Then the third floor may be full.

He held the notebook and poked on the keyboard with his left hand. It took a long time to think of it. He now has a right hand.

The habit is really a magical thing, just cast a plaster, and actually let him forget the existence of his right hand.

Calculating in this way, he glanced at the calendar, and it is no wonder that he is not suitable for the lonely feeling without Jiang Yuduo beside him anyway.

Maybe it’s not long enough.

After reading Huihui’s summary this month, he added his opinions after several improvement ideas, then closed the summary and opened another document.

This lists the mental hospitals across the country, their names, addresses and general information.

Sister Luo could not tell him where Jiang Yuduo was. This actually shows that Jiang Yuduo was not with her, and if Jiang Yuduo made such a decision, she certainly would not simply find Sister Luo again. My sister also said that Jiang Yuduo had had many treatments before, so that he has been able to cope with many treatment methods.

Cheng Ke felt that Jiang Yuduo must have been admitted to hospital for treatment, and this time, he chose to return to the hospital.

Therefore, his goal actually only needs to be set in the city where Sister Luo is located. After Jiang Yuduo was rescued, only stayed there, and there are also quite good hospitals in the local area.

The reason why he still lists all the hospitals that he can find in such a way is to pass the time.

He needs to do something related to Jiang Yuduo in his free time and in an upset mood.

The strawberry wine has almost fermented, Hui Hui tells him that he can drink it after a while, but it will taste better after two months.

He also had two meals with Chen Qing and took meow to take two baths.

He also plans to collect the rent with Chen Qing next week.

He needs to keep in touch with Jiang Yuduo, and he needs Jiang Yuduo to appear in his life, his traces, his breath.

Jiang Yuduo feared that he would leave.

I’m particularly afraid that you will leave before I’m good.

You can’t wait to leave.

It’s ok.

Jiang Yuduo was also afraid of what he was afraid of.

He has grown so big that he has never felt the same feeling as anyone.

The time and depth are beyond his own understanding of himself.

The interest in Jiang Yuduo comes from his speciality, from his character, from his magical thinking, and even from his whole fruit when he opened the door…

But after that.

Jiang Yuduo did not doubt his seriousness, he was afraid of change.

Time is cruel to Jiang Yuduo.

It was uneasy for him.

With him now, he cannot imagine that he will leave and disappear, but he is also afraid of time.

He was afraid that when Jiang Yu snatched it back, he would not be here.

For the first time he had such great expectations and panic about his feelings, so he needed all traces of Jiang Yuduo’s existence.

Even if he always felt that Chen Qing, a big IQ tax evader, would make him feel kind.

“Otherwise,” Chen Qing, who took him to collect the rent for the third time, made a decision. “You can collect the rent next month.”

“Huh?” Cheng Ke froze.

“You look like you are planning to continue the unfinished business of your third brother,” said Chen Qing. “You have picked up three calls on this trip today. There are a lot of things in the store. You are still running. Come here and collect the rent with me.”

Cheng Ke was a little embarrassed. Chen Qing said otherwise, he didn’t notice that he had already collected the rent for two months.

“Take a lease to return to the business,” he sighed. “Are your requirements for the business a little low.”

“Don’t talk hard,” Chen Qing looked at him, “you said you can’t take over.”

“Take it,” Cheng Ke said.

“That’s amazing. In fact, I found that your rent collection is better than the third brother’s collection,” Chen Qing said. “The third brother looked at it, that is, he knows that he is the boss of this piece. Look at it. I cant figure it out, maybe its black, its scary.”

“…Do I look so terrible?” Cheng Ke froze.

“It’s much more terrible than this,” Chen Qing said. “Since Zhang Daqi’s case, the brothers have been convinced of you. What are you going to do now, one sentence will follow you.”

“I still don’t dig the corner of the third brother.” Cheng Ke said.

“It’s not the same thing to dig,” Chen Qing waved his hand and sighed again. “Fuck, is he still without news?”

“Well, no.” Cheng Ke leaned against the wall next to him, feeling a little depressed.

For three months, Jiang Yuduo had no news, and Sister Luo never called him.

“It’s almost the third brother’s birthday, Children’s Day, do you know?” Chen Qing said.

“I know.” Cheng Ke said.

“He hadn’t returned by that time,” Chen Qing thought for a while, “Let’s give him a birthday?”

“…Is it a bit silly?” Cheng Ke froze.

“What’s so stupid,” Chen Qing tweeted, “then the groom can’t come to the bride to hold the wedding himself!”

Cheng Ke choked for a while and coughed for a while: “Don’t worry, I plan to… wait again.”

Jiang Yuduo didn’t remember how many days he ran away. In a few months, it was almost a birthday. He wanted to work from early morning to midnight.

Strawberry wine is already very fragrant, clear red, when placed in the sun, it will reflect the shaking light red ripples on the white wall.

Cheng Ke put the wine back in the refrigerator and took out his mobile phone to make a call to Xu Ding.

“I plan to travel for a few days,” he glanced at the calendar. “Check out other themed restaurants.”

“Where are you going?” Xu Ding asked.

“…Several places,” Cheng Ke cleared his throat and casually reported a few place names, “about a week.”

Xu Ding smiled after being silent for a while: “OK, what happened in that shop…”

“You don’t have to worry. For these few days, I let Huihui stare at her for a while. She is quite capable.” Cheng Ke said.

“That’s all right,” Xu Ding said, “Wish you… the inspection went well.”
