"Hey, do you have a knife?" I asked Lao Wei. "Ah? A small knife?" Lao Wei was a big man, standing in front of me, almost covering my sight. "Yeah, one of those Swiss Army knives. Don't you like to go backcountry? What's that called... oh yes, the outdoors! I remember you always had a knife with you." "Yes, yes, what are you doing..." Lao Wei couldn't finish his sentence, because I had already pulled out the Swiss Army Knife from his trouser pocket. "You..." He suddenly realized, "Aren't you going to be a hero again, kid?" He put his big hands in front of me, "Listen to me, buddy, you already saved a woman's life today, and now this It's not your turn to show off, a knife can't deal with this guy in front of you."

"Yes." I nodded sincerely, pulled out the longest blade of the saber, and slammed my knee into Lao Wei's calf from behind.He didn't pay attention, and he couldn't stand still for a while. I took the opportunity to grab his head, and the cold blade rested on his neck: "Yes, this knife can't deal with him, but it's enough to deal with you." "Did you take the wrong medicine?" He struggled and twisted twice, the movement was not big. You're right, I really took the wrong medicine, five minutes ago, when I was standing in the toilet drinking coffee, the gears of fate had already started turning.

Five minutes ago, at exactly one o'clock in the morning on the last day of July 2007, I was smoking a cigarette, drinking coffee, and listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom 40 meters west of the emergency room of the hospital. After a long night of bewildering puzzle-solving, I'm physically and mentally exhausted.After taking a sip of Starbucks bottled coffee, letting the strong and refreshing taste flow along the blood vessels to the limbs, it was really indescribably comfortable, and I let out a long breath of satisfaction. It wasn't until I took my third sip of coffee that I realized that something was wrong.

"Hey, Wei," I pushed my friend, "Why do I have to drink coffee in the bathroom?" "Hey! Don't push me, you peed on your hands!" He was still lingering on his face, "This is called killing three birds with one stone, haven't you heard of it? This is a hospital, if you want to smoke, you have to go to the bathroom, by the way You can still pee here, and you can drink coffee, isn't it nice?" Are you comfortable?I don't think so, I thought comfort was lying on the deserted lawn with my eldest girl and rolling around... Compared to drinking coffee, what I care more about right now is that we are not the only two of us in this bathroom.

In a compartment door that was ajar, there were bursts of frivolous sounds from time to time. Lao Wei also heard it in a daze, he zipped up his trousers and snarled at me. "Go over and have a look, what's in there?" I joked. "Don't look around!" Lao Wei warned me seriously, his chubby face was shaking.Despite what he said, he leaned towards the door and squatted down, wanting to see what happened. I was so happy to watch the excitement, so I sneaked up behind him, trying to kick him when he wasn't prepared.But before I could take any action, the half-open door was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and the door frame was knocking on Lao Wei's forehead, causing him to almost fall to the ground.

A man flashed out from behind the door, about thirty or forty years old, wearing a blue hospital gown.The hair on both ends of his forehead was particularly bald; his face was flushed, and he wore a smile that was almost crazy but detached.His fingers were sticking to the seam of his trousers, beating a certain rhythm, and he was still chanting words-but I couldn't understand which language he was speaking; the most memorable thing was his pair of eyes, bright red, His mouth was bloodshot, his eye sockets were black and swollen, and he seemed to have not slept in a long time. He didn't apologize, and he didn't feel that I was in the way, and he squeezed gently in front of me.When passing by, he glanced at me with a blank gaze—no, it should be said that he didn't look at me, but cast his gaze somewhere behind me.I didn't look back and knew that there was nothing behind me except the dirty yellow-white wall.

It wasn't until this weird man walked out of the bathroom that Lao Wei stood upright, and there seemed to be a golden star in front of his eyes: "Fuck! What did you just pass by?" "Psychopaths..." I thought, there is no better explanation than lunatics, "Why do psychiatrists come to the emergency room in the emergency department? Come on, let's go out and have a look." "Wait a minute!" Lao Wei grabbed my arm, "Am I dazzled? Look at this!" He pointed to the back of the door and said. What is there to see behind the toilet door!Even though I thought so, my curiosity drove me to stretch my head over there.When I saw this, I was shocked: on the ground behind the toilet door, I don't know if it was painted with incense ash or something.No...it can't be called a human head, it's more like a bear's head, but it has cat's eyes and a snake's letter...

In the middle of the night, a lunatic was painting on the toilet floor. No matter how I thought about it, it looked like something out of a horror movie.Neither of us wanted to stay here for a long time, and Lao Wei kicked my ass, as if he had completed his revenge. "What are you doing! I didn't hit your head!" I muttered dissatisfiedly, and Lao Wei pushed and shoved out of the bathroom. Since it was already night, only half of the lights were on in the long and narrow corridor, and no one was walking around.I saw four men and women at the other end of the corridor. They were all relatives and friends of the suicide victim, and now they have all become my friends.More than half an hour ago, we found Yang Jie, a woman who had attempted suicide, and sent her here.At this time, her relatives were waiting anxiously outside the rescue room—strangely, the mysterious mental patient disappeared.

He's gone for the best!Thank goodness!Lao Wei and I walked forward along the corridor and came to a sunken area in the middle of the corridor, where the nurse's desk was. Unexpectedly, the mentally ill patient was standing behind the nurse's desk, staring at us intently. At first he was staring at us blankly, but suddenly he shivered involuntarily, his body shaking mechanically.Of course, the two of us didn't get any better. We just felt the cold air blowing up from our feet.For a long time, Lao Wei and I didn't dare to move. Finally, he came out of the nurse's desk, pulled on his shoes, and started walking towards the emergency room.His movements were stiff and his steps faltered, but his steps were unexpected, quick and noiseless.Like a zombie, he twisted and twisted towards the emergency room.

Yang Jie's relatives and friends looked up at him, and he looked at them too, both of them seemed startled. Lao Wei and I froze in place stupidly, motionless.No one can understand what he wants to do. At this moment, the light at the door of the emergency room came on, and a nurse wearing a mask came out. She took off the mask and was about to say something. "Not good!" Lao Wei shouted with sharp eyes, but the transmission speed of his voice seemed to be slower than that person's movements.He suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the nurse into his arms, and pointed a piece of glass he found somewhere towards the nurse's neck.

There was chaos inside and outside the rescue room! The medical staff in the house quickly noticed the crisis and contacted the security staff; Yang Jie's four relatives and friends all stood up straight, because they couldn't figure out what was going on, and they didn't run or sit. The man supported the nurse, but he kept shaking, still muttering words, as if he was the victim.Because his hands were trembling, and the piece of glass pierced the nurse's skin, a little blood leaked out. The poor little nurse was so frightened that she couldn't even cry. In about two or three minutes, there was loud noise behind Lao Wei and me, and the security guards rushed into the corridor, holding batons in their hands, and quickly surrounded the scene. "Let go of the nurse, throw away your glass!" The security guard ordered one after another. But the more they yelled, the more frightened the mental patient became. He huddled himself in the corner and kept gesticulating on the nurse's throat with a piece of glass. "Don't...don't come here...you all go away, I, I'm not afraid of you." He shouted, his shrill voice was extremely penetrating. "It seems that the language ability has not been lost, and the level of thinking is not bad." I whispered something. "What did you say?" "It's nothing, hey, do you have a knife?" I asked Lao Wei. "Ah? A small knife?" Lao Wei was a big man, standing in front of me, almost covering my sight. "Yeah, one of those Swiss army knives. Don't you like to go backcountry? What's that called... oh yes, the outdoors! I remember you always had it with you." "Yes, yes, what are you doing..." Lao Wei couldn't finish his sentence, because I had already pulled out the Swiss Army Knife from his trouser pocket. "You..." He suddenly realized, "You're not going to be a hero again, are you?" He put a pair of big hands in front of me, "Listen to me, buddy, you already saved a woman's life today. Now it's not your turn to show off, a knife can't deal with this guy in front of you." "That's right." I nodded sincerely, pulled out the longest blade of the saber, and slammed my knee into Lao Wei's calf from behind.He didn't pay attention, and he couldn't stand still for a while. I took the opportunity to grab his head, and the cold blade rested on his neck: "Yes, this knife can't deal with him, but it's enough to deal with you." "Did you take the wrong medicine?" He struggled and twisted twice, the movement was not big. "Don't move!" I lowered my voice, "Don't scream like a fucking pig, the blade is facing outward, I can't hurt you. Listen to me, I'm pushing you, let's move slowly Moving forward, if you don't make a mistake, no one gets hurt, the nurse is in no danger, and you are, and this guy is not out of control." "Won't you lose control? Why do I feel that you are abnormal?" Lao Wei said with a whimper. I sighed, speaking lightly on my mouth, but my heart was in a panic. A mental patient does not need to bear legal responsibility for killing people; even if he does, who should he ask for the life of the nurse? This is not an incident that can be resolved by force. Mental patients are holding hostages. If they are not careful, the hostages' lives will be in danger.Of course the security guards didn't dare to act rashly; however, the problem would not be resolved if it continued like this: the more frightened and desperate he was, the more likely he was to harm the hostages.As a last resort, I decided to take the risk.In fact, my hands were shaking too. Fortunately, Lao Wei has been my playmate for many years. He has a quick mind and immediately understood my intentions. "Grandson! Just watch!" He knew in his heart, but he was not forgiving, "When this thing is over, I will never end with you!" "Shut up!" I always felt something was wrong, "Old Wei, can you squat down a little bit, you are too tall!" "Nonsense, you are too short!" I began to envy the kidnapper's treatment. In his arms was a petite and cute nurse who was only 1.6 meters tall; while the one in front of me was a man who was 1.9 meters tall and weighed 200 catties. Son.It's really not easy to be a hero, I sincerely sigh. Of course, emotion can not solve the problem. "Don't come, don't come, I'm not afraid of you, get away." I imitated the tone of that mental patient, and slowly supported Lao Wei forward. My farce, for the security guards, is tantamount to making matters worse.The front was like a big enemy, and such a pair of live treasures ran out from behind. They were shocked, and they couldn't tell whether it was me in disguise or not. The two of us kept walking, and I tilted my head on purpose to look forward through Lao Wei's armpit.The mental patient noticed us, and seemed to find it a bit inconceivable, his eyeballs were still rolling around. When passing in front of everyone, I took the time to wink - but judging from the reaction of the security guards, my hint failed.Fortunately, Chinese security guards are not equipped with guns, otherwise when I show my back, I might be shot in the head from behind! The closer I was to that person, the greater the hope of saving him, and the more frightened I was.While pushing Lao Wei bluffing, I paid attention to the expression and movements of that person.Three meters, no problem; two meters, still barely, and took a step forward, the man trembled, and shrank into the corner with the nurse in his arms. Well, it's time to stop, it seems that this is the safe distance. I shouldn't push forward, and I dare not do so, because any mistake may lead to the loss of previous efforts. I didn't poke my head out from behind Lao Wei until it came to a complete stop.When I met the eyes of that person, I clearly saw the eyes with the same fear as mine.It's just that my fear is because of him; and his fear is not necessarily because of me...
