Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven

"Lizard?" Deng Hui said in surprise, "Poisonous lizard?" "...It should be, can it be cured?" Deng Hui frowned, "This kind of injury is too rare. I'm afraid the small hospital in our county can't find any effective treatment plan." "Then what should we do?" Ni Ke said anxiously, "Will his life be in danger?" "I don't know." Deng Hui said helplessly, "We don't know what kind of lizard he was bitten by, so there is no way." Deng Hui returned to his identity as a doctor, "Her injuries are not serious, but she is still unconscious , and judging from all the signs, he was obviously poisoned, was the tooth mark on his thigh bitten by some animal?"

"yes" "What animal?" Ni Ke hesitated for a moment, then said with difficulty, "Lizard." "Lizard?" Deng Hui said in surprise, "Poisonous lizard?" "It should be, can it be cured?" Deng Hui frowned, "This kind of injury is too rare. I'm afraid the small hospital in our county can't find any effective treatment plan," "Then what should we do?" Ni Ke asked anxiously, "Will his life be in danger?" "I don't know." Deng Hui said helplessly, "We don't know what kind of lizard he was bitten by, and we can't estimate it at all."

"Deng Hui, I beg you, save him." Ni Ke cried again anxiously, "She was attacked because of me." "Don't worry, Ni Ke, of course I will try my best to save him." Deng Hui thought for a while and said, "Can you find the lizard that bit him now?" "Find it, what's the use?" "Ni Ke, have you ever heard of fighting poison with poison?" Deng Hui stared at her and said, "Some animals that are highly poisonous, such as poisonous snakes, have highly poisonous saliva, but it can only be activated when it enters the subject's blood." However, the use of venom will not cause harm to the human body, and their saliva and serum may be the best antidote, so..."

"As long as we can find the lizard that bit him, maybe it can be saved?" "Yes, at least you can try." Deng Hui said worriedly, "But can you find it? Where did you meet this lizard? And how can you catch such a dangerous animal?" Ni Ke didn't have time After explaining all this, she said to Deng Hui: "Don't worry about these, I can find them. Deng Hui, please help me take care of him, I will be back soon!" "Are you going to find it now?" "Yes." Ni Ke thought for a while, "Can I go to the emergency room to see him first?"

"Yes...Ni Ke, what is his relationship with you?" Ni Ke bit his lip and hesitated. "A person who is very important to me." After saying this, she walked quickly into the emergency room.Marvin was lying weakly on the hospital bed, covered with a white sheet, and the trousers he had taken off were placed on the chair beside him, stained with blood.At this moment, his face was blue, and he seemed to be in a semi-conscious state.Seeing this situation, Ni Ke burst into tears.It's all because of me, brother Ma Wen, that you brought me and Mengnu to my hometown to help me figure out what happened back then.I didn't expect that it would cause you to become like this.Thinking of this, Ni Ke was heartbroken, and felt extremely sorry for Ma Wen.All she can do now is to find the dream girl.

Suddenly, the cell phone in Ma Wen's trouser pocket rang, Ni saw that Ma Wen didn't respond, hesitated for a while, took the cell phone out of his trouser pocket, and pressed the answer button. An urgent voice: "The boss is not well. Lan died just now. The doctor said she died of poisoning!" What?Lan... Brother Marvin's ex-wife?She was poisoned... died?Ni Ke was stunned, his mind went blank.How is this going? "Boss, are you listening?" Ni Ke recognized that it was Zhou Yi's voice, and she tremblingly asked, "Zhou Yi, what did you just say?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds: "You are... Ni Ke?" "Yes, I'm with brother Ma Wen now." Ni Ke asked again: "What did you just say? His ex-wife was poisoned to death?" Zhou Yi didn't answer, "I'm sorry, Ni Ke, I can only talk to the boss about this matter." Ni Ke stayed for a while, then hung up the phone sadly, it turned out to be like this. Why did she leave overnight, why Marvin was so panicked, why did Marvin answer the phone behind his back on the road—now, she knew it all. Still, she took a deep breath—no matter what Marvin did, she would do her best to save him, she couldn't just let him die.

Ni Ke wiped away his tears and walked towards the door. Deng Hui stood guard at the door. Seeing Ni Ke passing by him, he finally couldn't help but reached out and grabbed her shoulder. Ni Ke turned his head and looked at Deng Hui. Deng Hui stared at her and said word by word: "Listen, Ni Ke, I'm very sorry for what happened that year. I know you have been greatly wronged and hurt. I didn't know you went to these people. Where, I don’t know how you are doing, but I——I always think about you.” Ni Ke's heart twitched.She closed her eyes, tears poured out again, and after a long time, she opened them and said, "So, do you believe what I told you?" Deng Hui said without hesitation for a second, "Yes, I believe it! I believe that something unbelievable must have happened to you. If you hadn't left, I would have worked with you to find out the truth!"

Ni Ke stared blankly at Deng Hui, full of thoughts.She could see that Deng Hui was speaking the truth, and she could also see Deng Hui's feelings for her.But is this belated trust and understanding a trick of fate?She didn't have time to think about these questions carefully, and said, "Thank you, I came back this time to find out the truth. But now, I want to save him first!" "Promise me, don't take any risks. Come back safely." Deng Hui said. Ni Ke nodded deeply and walked out of the hospital. She ran wildly on the dark night road.The mood and feelings at this moment are extremely complicated and chaotic.The two most important men in her life, one reappeared, and the other was about to leave her.How should she choose, where should she go?

Ni Ke ran up the mountain along the path. She was so familiar with this path. This mountain was the one where she and Deng Hui used to play. Tonight, fortunately, there was a glimmer of moonlight guiding the way up the mountain. Ni Ke ignored her tiredness and hunger, and marched up the mountain in one go. She firmly believed that Mengnv was on this mountain. The forest is the most familiar environment for this lizardman, and it is also her only shelter. "Dream girl! Dream girl!" Ni Ke shouted loudly as she walked up the mountain, but the only answer to her was the howling of the cold wind and the caress of the leaves.She stopped, panted for a while, and called again in Mengnv's "hissing" voice, but there was no response.She moved on.

I don't know how long he walked, but Ni Ke's physical strength has reached extreme difficulty.She was about to faint, but her mouth was still making a "hissing" sound that imitated the lizardman. If it wasn't for the belief that she must save Marvin was supporting her, she would have collapsed long ago. Suddenly, Ni Ke felt a rustling sound coming from the bushes, she stopped, her eyes widened, and she looked around with her left heart. Through the moonlight, she saw a pair of yellow eyes hidden in the grass. "Dream girl...is that you?" After a few seconds of silence, the animal lying in the grass suddenly stood up—yes, it was Meng Nu!Ni Ke throbbed for a while, and was about to walk forward, but suddenly stopped and froze. This is a lizard man.However, he has no hair on his head.Moreover, it is much taller than Mengnv. The lizard man stood up, at least two meters tall, with a thick tail dragging behind him.At this moment, he stared at Ni Ke, and Ni Ke also looked at him in horror.Suddenly, Ni Ke's blood seemed to be poured into ice, freezing her limbs and bones.Her body was stiff and unable to move, but the nightmare in her memory revived at this moment. When she saw the face of this lizard man, she remembered everything. This big lizard... No, this lizardman was the monster that appeared in my "dream" and caused me to become pregnant. There is more than one lizardman in this world, Mengnv?Before Mengnv, there were already lizardmen? Ni Ke trembled violently all over, God, I came to this mountain to look for my weird daughter, but I accidentally found her——father? "No, no." Ni Ke felt the whole world shaking and spinning in front of her eyes. She covered her mouth and felt the cold tears slipping down the back of her hand. At this moment, a fearful guess suddenly appeared in her heart. Maybe Mengnv bit the horse. Wen, not to eat him, but—— She remembered her own experience. At the beginning, she fell down from the mountain and passed out. Later, she found two tooth-plate wounds on her calf. At that time, she thought it was stabbed by a branch or a stone point. Now she understands what it is After imprinting, I also understood why I had a fever and fell into a coma later. It was not illness, but poisoning?And now, the same thing happened to Marvin? Ni Ke retreated step by step in horror, but the lizard man just stood there and did not attack. Could it be that he also recognized me? No, this fact is a hundred times more terrifying than a nightmare. Ni Ke covered his mouth with both hands, turned around, and ran down the mountain.In the emergency room, Deng Hui stood beside Ma Wen, and it was raining again outside. He walked to the window and tried to close the window, but saw a black shadow crawling directly under the window. Before he could see clearly, the shadow had already jumped up, and two claw-like hands grabbed his shoulders. Before the terrified Deng Hui could cry out, the monster opened its bloody mouth and bit at him. his carotid arteries. Deng Hui fell down. Before he died, he stared wide-eyed at this lizard-like monster coming in through the window. Did he understand what Ni Ke was looking for?It also seemed to understand more things, but it was too late. Marvin was lying on the bed, dazed and ignorant, his eyelids were so heavy that he could barely lift his head, and his mind was dizzy, as if he had a high fever.In a trance, he heard some kind of eating sound in front of the window, something was bitten and torn, and there was also the sound of chewing and swallowing. What is the situation?He couldn't figure it out. In the confusion, Marvin woke up on the hospital bed. He suddenly found that he seemed to be awake, as if the poison had been cured.But what he saw after regaining his sanity made him terrified. Marvin got out of bed, walked over and hugged Ni Ke tightly, he didn't ask what happened here, he could guess.In fact, he and Ni Ke knew everything now.They can read everything in each other's eyes. All mysteries have found their answers. But everything caused by it cannot be undone. Three days later. Ma Wen and Ni Ke sat in the car and didn't say a word for a long time. "Let's go, get out of here." Marvin broke the silence. "Why are you still with me?" Ni Ke asked dully with no expression on his face. "It's over, Ni Ke, it's over." Ni Ke stared blankly, shaking his head slowly, "All of this comes from me. I was violated by a monster, gave birth to that freak, killed so many people, and made you go through the same experience as me. matter." "If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't be saved." "If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be bitten at all, or even encounter these things at all." Marvin watched her, shaking his head slowly. "I'm a woman of misfortune," she said with difficulty. "Let's part, Brother Marvin." "Ni Ke, don't blame yourself for everything. You are also a victim, and you have not taken responsibility for all of this." Marvin said, "Let's abandon everything in the past and live a new life." Ni Ke looked at him: "Brother Ma Wen, can I ask you a question?" "what?" "Why do you still stick to me after so many terrible things happen?" "I like you, Nicole." "Is that the only reason?" Marvin stared at her for a while, "Of course." "Can I start a new life?" "Trust me, it will," Ni Ke shed tears, "But Mengnv has not been found until now. I don't know if she will attack people. I always feel that the sins I have done are like debts owed, which have not been paid off. Ni Ke But, you have already decided to give up Mengnv, and she will have nothing to do with you from now on." Ni Ke closed his eyes, tears flowing wantonly. Ma Wen sighed, he knew that the blow to Ni Ke had severely traumatized her spirit, but he was not much better, but he didn't blame Ni Ke at all. Some things, he is very clear. Poor girl, Marvin murmured sadly.Do you think it's all your fault?How would you know that, in fact, I was the one paying the debt, the debt owed by my father. that scandal. More than ten years ago, if my father hadn't wanted to surprise the newly opened pet store, went to Indonesia to poach, and finally the prey escaped due to negligence, he would not have been imprisoned, nor would he have died in prison. All the things that followed would not have happened. At the beginning, he kept it from me and didn't let me know what the animals he poached back were, but after meeting you, hearing your experience, and searching for those materials, I understand that all the tragedies in your life may be Because of this incident, fate arranged for you to come to me, just to make me compensate you. Now, I have tasted crying myself, but maybe it is not enough. I will pay the price for the rest of my life. This matter may not be over yet. "Brother Ma Wen, let's go, get out of here." Ni Ke said tiredly with empty eyes. "Okay." Marvin came back from his reverie, took a deep breath, and let it out slowly, "Let's go." The car started, and Ni Ke took one last look at her hometown, a place that caused her so much pain that she would never return to it. She didn't know that there were two pairs of eyes watching them on the distant mountain.
