Chapter 4 Chapter Three Turning Enemies into Friends

But I didn't feel tired at all. From this we can see how confused my thoughts were during that hour! I picked up the phone, it was still Bai Su's long-distance call, she told me that she was already at the airport and the plane would take off in ten minutes, that is to say, I could see her before midnight! After this phone call with her, I went to sit in the newspaper office I was familiar with. The telegram about the plane crash had just arrived. The plane hit the mountain peak and exploded, and everyone on board was spared. After I left the newspaper office, I went straight to the airport and waited for quite a long time at the airport. The plane I was going to take finally arrived on time. When she came out of the gate, I rushed forward and we hugged each other .

Many people looked at us curiously, but I can guarantee that among all the people who looked at me, none of them knew that our husband and wife were almost separated by Yin and Yang, and we would never see each other again. And when I hugged Bai Su in my arms, I was very grateful to Huo Jingwei, he saved us, I should agree to any request of him, and stop embarrassing him, I wiped it for my wife when she saw me Tears flowed from time to time: "Go, I will take you to meet someone." "The one who warned you that the plane was going to crash?" "yes." I carried her luggage for her, left the airport, and drove straight to Huo Jingwei's residence. When I drove up the slope and came to the big iron gate of the garden house, I found that the lights were bright.

Moreover, as soon as my car stopped, I saw a tall and thin person walking towards the outside.That person was Huo Jingwei, he obviously knew in advance that we would come! We got out of the car, Huo Jingwei had come to the iron gate, opened the iron gate, we walked in, I introduced: "This is Mr. Huo, this is my wife Bai Su, her life is your phone call rescued." Huo Jingwei listened to my introduction, but a very bitter smile appeared on his face, he just said: "Please come in." We followed him and walked in together. He didn't entertain us in the living room, but took us straight up to the third floor to his study. As soon as he entered his study, Bai Su was startled by the stuffed black panther Jump.

I already knew that there was such a black panther in his study, so I was not surprised. I said, "We just came from the airport, and we came here specially to thank you." Huo Jingwei said: "You don't need to thank me, will you agree to what I mentioned on the phone?" I immediately said: "Of course I agree. In fact, I was entrusted by your father to pay attention to your actions. Now, I can refuse him and never follow you." Bai Su didn't know what we were talking about, but she was a well-bred woman, she would never interrupt when two men were talking, she just opened her eyes wide and listened.

Huo Jingwei said: "Thank you, then I am very happy!" I saw that he didn't want to talk to me anymore, and my purpose of coming here has been achieved, so I glanced at Bai Su, and the two of us stood up together: "We are leaving." Huo Jingwei didn't hold back either: "Okay, I'll send you out!" He walked towards the door of the study first, but when he reached the door, he stood still and asked: "Mr. Wei, it is said that you have seen many strange people?" "You can say that, or you can say that it's just my imagination. Because when many people mention creatures on other planets, they still think that they only exist in science fiction novels!"

"You have seen people from other planets, or advanced creatures, and have had many strange experiences, but you...have you ever..." Huo Jingwei hesitated: "Have you ever seen someone like me?" I asked back: "You mean, someone who has the ability to predict the future." Huo Jingwei nodded palely, as if his privacy had been compromised by humanity. I said: "I haven't seen it before. I've seen unbelievably transparent people and fragmented people, but I've never met anyone like you." Huo Jingwei sighed, and I took the opportunity to say, "Huo Guangsheng, you seem very unhappy? In fact, a person who has the ability like you should feel very happy."

Huo Jingwei smiled wryly and remained silent. The painful and helpless expression on his face was by no means artificial, but he really felt pain in his heart. I didn't ask any more questions. We stayed between us for a while, and he suddenly reached out and patted my shoulder: "Come to my infirmary at noon tomorrow, okay?" This invitation, for me, is simply overjoyed! I quickly agreed: "Okay, of course." "Then, see you tomorrow, excuse me for being rude, I won't send you off." "You're welcome!" I said, went downstairs with Bai Su, and broke up with him.

When we got in the car, Bai Sucai asked me a series of questions, and I told her the whole story in detail.After she listened: "I think, he will take you to that club tomorrow." "I hope so." "You think he's harmless?" "Of course there is no malice, don't you see it? Although he has superhuman abilities, he is not happy at all. He doesn't even have anyone to talk to. I think he helped me, and I can help too." He, I believe he must have had a very strange experience!" Bai Su leaned against me: "If he really needs help, then he should be helped well. If not for him, we...how are we now?"

I didn't dare to think about it, I really didn't dare to think about it, I hurriedly said: "Don't think about it, isn't the matter already over?" I drove the car faster, and Bai Su didn't mention the crashed plane anymore. The next day, at noon, I walked into Huo Jingwei's clinic, and a nurse who was in charge of registration looked at me curiously, probably because no matter how I looked at me, I didn't look like a patient. reason. I walked forward: "I have an appointment with Dr. Huo, my name is Wei." "Mr. Wei, Dr. Huo has ordered you to come in as soon as you arrive."

I nodded and pushed open the door of the consultation room. Huo Jingwei raised his head: "You are here, let's go." I hurriedly said, "You don't have any patients anymore?" Huo Jingwei shook his head and smiled wryly: "No, all my patients have gone to other doctors, and they all thought I should go to a doctor myself." I don't know what to say, because judging from Huo Jingwei's expression, he is really in extreme distress. That kind of distress cannot be comforted by my unrealistic few words. So I would rather say nothing. We left the clinic together, and when we got to the car house, he spoke again: "I'm sorry, I hurt you yesterday."

I touched the back of my head, and the raised piece hadn't subsided yet, but I smiled: "There's no need to bring it up again." He opened the car door and let me sit in. He drove the car by himself and drove out of the garage. As soon as he drove to the street, he said: "The so-called 'Jungle God Worshipers Club' is because the old man treats me abnormally." I have doubts about my actions, and I fabricated it myself. In fact, there was only me and an old man guarding the gate in that place." I listened attentively and remained silent. He turned his head and glanced at me: "Don't you ask me where that is?" "What is that place?" "It's a place dedicated to the 'God of the Jungle', and it's my... temple to worship the 'God of the Jungle'." It is natural to say that such an answer is inscrutable, but why can't it be said that the speech is incoherent? I asked again: "What kind of god is 'God of the Jungle'?" "When you get there, you can see it." "So, what is your purpose of worshiping it?" Huo Jingwei was stunned for a long while before saying, "You know that I have the ability to predict things that have never happened before." I hurriedly said: "Yes, that is a kind of superhuman power." Huo Jingwei smiled bitterly again, he must always smile like that, because the two marks on his face caused by the bitter smile were already very deep, he not only smiled bitterly, but also sighed. I didn't make another sound, and after a while, he said again: "I worship the 'God of the Jungle', just because I want it to take away my ability!" What Huo Jingwei said surprised me a lot! That is really incredible, because if a person has the superhuman ability to know the future in advance, it is really equivalent to owning the whole world. He can become the richest man in three or four days. He can seek good luck and avoid bad luck, he can have whatever he wants, he should be the happiest person, that is probably a superhuman ability that everyone in the world dreams of! However, Huo Jingwei had this kind of power, so he didn't want it. He had to ask that "God of the Jungle" to make his power disappear! What is the "God of the Jungle"? Before I could ask, Huo Jingwei said again: "The reason why I asked the 'God of the Jungle' to remove this special ability for me is because it gave me this ability." The more I listened, the more confused I became. If I didn't know for sure that Huo Jingwei did have the ability to predict, then I must have regarded him as a very neurotic person. I stayed for a while before saying: "But..." But before I finished my words, he already said: "Here we are!" I looked out and saw him turn the car into a curved road.Just now, because I was only interested in talking to him, and the content of his conversation attracted my full attention, so I didn't notice where he drove the car at all. At this time, I saw that the car had already driven up the mountain and was driving towards a small road. The road was very narrow and steep. All roads belong to Huo Jingwei. When the car came to the door, Huo Jingwei pressed a button in the car, and the radio-controlled door opened automatically. Huo Jingwei drove the car in. At that time, there was no house in sight. It was not until the inclined road that I drove up and turned to a relatively flat road that I saw a large piece of well-organized grass and a comfortable and elegant building. bungalow. Huo Jingwei parked the car beside the grass and said, "What do you think of this place?" I got out of the car and looked around, the place was extremely quiet, especially in a first-class big city! I said sincerely: "Great! It's really great here." Huo Jingwei finally smiled, this is the first time I saw him smile, he said: "I spent a lot of money here, because I want to find a quiet place to support the 'God of the Jungle'. And if my foresight The ability is gone, I will send it back, if you like this place, I can give you this house!" I hurriedly said: "I dare not accept this gift, it's too heavy, I...may I know where the 'God of the Jungle' came from?" "It's from Brazil." "Oh," I said without expressing surprise, "did you bring it back from your last hunting trip in South America?" Huo Jingwei once again cast a painful expression on his face: "If I knew that this trip would have such a result, I would definitely not go, but it's a pity that I didn't have the ability to predict at that time." I asked again, "Where in Brazil?" "The Santa Marta mountain, in the central part of Brazil, is where the Yaraguaja River originates. I think you've heard of it?" I couldn't help exclaiming: "God, that place is still blank on the map. It's a truly wild place. I'm afraid no outsider has ever entered it except for the local natives!" "You can almost say that, that place is the settlement of the fierce headhunters, the Kirkhua tribe. There are many branches of the Kirkhua tribe, and they all live in the central part of Brazil, which is the most unknown and mysterious area in the world. Everything is primitive—let's not talk about it, please come in first and pay homage to the God of the Jungle!" My curiosity was aroused to the boiling point by his words, but I knew that it must be a very long story, so I was patient and didn't ask him, just walked in with him. Before the floor-to-ceiling glass door, there are three or two stone steps. When we walked up the stone steps, I saw an old man coming out of the house and called Huo Jingwei.Huo Jingwei said: "This is an old servant. He watched me grow up and treated me very well." As he spoke, he moved the glass door and walked in. It was a living room, which was elegantly furnished. The walls and floor were all beige, and the tone was very soft. He walked straight forward, and I followed naturally until he came to a door before he stood. Then, he could only hear him take a deep breath: "I hope you see the situation in the room and don't be surprised." I heard him say that, and I knew that the "God of the Jungle" must be in that room. And he specially warned me like that, so I know that the idol must be very hideous and terrifying.This was also what I expected, because I already knew that the statue was brought back by him from the wilderness of Brazil, and I couldn't expect him to bring back a statue of Venus from the wilderness. I said: "I know, I won't be so timid." Huo Jingwei said: "I'm not saying that you will be terrified, I mean that you will be surprised when you see it." As he spoke, he opened the door. He was quite right, he was a man of foresight, and he knew I would be surprised, and I was! There was nothing in that room, except in the middle of the room, there was a cylinder about five feet high, and the cylinder was about one foot in diameter, and it was a strange gray color, very soft. I was taken aback and said, "What is this?" Huo Jingwei said: "This is the 'God of the Jungle'." I strode forward: "Mr. Huo, I hope you are not joking with me!" Huo Jingwei smiled wryly: "I'd rather be joking with you!" I glanced at him, and without saying anything, I stepped forward to look at the column.When I saw the cylinder for the first time, my first impression was that it was a product of high industrial technology, because its surface was so smooth and its shape was so standard. But I also thought that it might be the result of handwork, maybe it was a totem made by Seiko. However, when I came close, touched it, and examined it carefully, I decided that it was an industrial product. It seemed to be made of metal, and it seemed to be a new synthetic glue. It is very heavy to hold.It is a whole. On its surface, there are no cracks, gaps, or other flaws. Its surface is a complete silver-gray, which seems to make people feel very comfortable. I watched it for five minutes, but couldn't draw any conclusions. I turned my head and said, "I don't understand, I don't understand at all." Huo Jingwei said: "Of course, you won't understand until I explain the process to you." "Then please tell me." "Of course, that's why I invited you here. Please come out. There are no chairs here." I followed him out again, came to a small living room, and sat down. He took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and brought it to me. It is red, and there is a booklet written in three languages ​​attached to the mouth of the bottle, which proves that this bottle of brandy was in the bottle when Napoleon took office as "reign for life" in 1802 AD. That is naturally a rare fine wine, it can be seen that Huo Jingwei really wants to have a good talk with me, otherwise, he wouldn't treat me like that. I hurriedly said: "This wine is too expensive, it was the product when Napoleon was in the limelight." Huo Jingwei opened the wine bottle with a corkscrew: "If Napoleon had the ability to predict and knew that he would eventually be trapped on a small island and die, he would definitely not feel happy being in power for life." I was stunned for a while, and I could hear Huo Jingwei's subtext. He wanted to say that having the ability to predict is not something to be happy about. Like Napoleon, if he had known that he would die on the island of Elba, he would die in his lifetime. How can you enjoy the fun of being an emperor? But I disagree with him. So I said: "Your statement is very problematic. If Napoleon had the ability to predict, he would not have attacked Russia, nor would he have fought the battle of Waterloo. In that way, he could have avoided defeat!" Huo Jingwei looked at me for a long while before slowly saying: "You still don't seem to understand, I mean that he has the ability to predict, but I didn't say that he has the power to change the facts that will happen in the future." I stayed for a moment: "I understand now. You mean, even if Napoleon had the ability to predict, he would still fail and die on the island. It's just that he knew this a long time ago, right?" Huo Jingwei nodded: "Yes, he seems to be reading history, and he himself is the protagonist of history. Think about it, what fun is there for him to be a human being? He is watching a movie that he has watched thousands of times. In the movie, everything will happen, he has no power to change, he must accept everything, he has no hope, because the ultimate result, he knows everything, although he is sitting on the throne of the emperor; but he has nothing to do with being trapped on a small island different!" After Huo Jingwei spoke up to this point in one breath, he paused for a while. I knew I shouldn't have said that, but I said it anyway, and I said, "You mean, you're living in such a joyless situation right now?" Huo Jingwei nodded with a gray face: "The greatest joy in life is hope, but I have no hope. I knew what was coming!"
